Well I'm sitting here in English class with really nothing else to do, so I guess I'll blog again. I was going through blogs yesterday, bored and wanting to see what else the world has to say. The very first blog that came up was one by a 28 year old aspiring christian writer. All of his posts were turned into great essays. I admired how he took every opportunity he had to practice his writing.
If you know anything about me, you know I'm a writer. Not professional...yet. But I spend hours on Microsoft Word writing random stories based off of random experiences that I've had or heard of. If you saw my google history, you'd think I was crazy. Unless you too are a writer. Then you'd understand.
The thing is, I can't get enough writing. I'd quit school and sit with a sharp pencil and crisp sheet of paper all day if I could. Then why do I waste so many hours watching television or mindlessly searching the web? I could be spending that time perfecting the gift God gave me.
I'm guilty of wasting my time. A lot lately, actually. Whether it be mlia.com or facebook or myspace or youtube, I sit staring at the computer. What's that all going to matter in eternity? Nothing. Life is really short. I'm already 16 (I know, I'm old) and about a fourth of my life is over. What have I spent that on? Teenage crushes, computers, televisions, fitting in, impressing people that don't need impressing...Unfortunately, that's been the use of a lot of my time. But I'm really trying to manage my time effectively. I'm writing more and reading my Bible (I don't think most people truly understand how much of a difference daily devotionals can make in our lives) and praying.
How's your time being spent?
