Oh Management of Time

So... lately, I've been finding myself supremely busy. Like I have had a meeting or something like that every day just this week. I talked to my freshman about time management. I think the truth is that I needed what God was saying to me just as much as they might have. That hits me with a big realization... Am I spending too much time on other things and busying myself and taking time away from God? Taking time away that I can be at peace and spending time with Him and employ His saving grace and give back to Him? I know that doing these ministries here at school are great and I am enjoying the time to put into them. But lately these days what I seem to be giving the Lord is not enough. Like God is saying to me "Hey, you. Yeah you. I'm over here too." It just seems like the reading at night and prayer that I'm doing just isn't sufficing. I'm feeling a little restless and a little disjointed. I don't really know how to describe it. It's just this weird feeling that I'm getting. And I don't like it. Not at all. I know that I make mistakes. It's all because I live in the flesh. The only person that is perfect is the Lord Jesus Christ. But knowing that I can never be even close to perfect just seems to burden me even more. We are called to be like Christ. And I feel like I fall so short sometimes that I am the worst representation of what Christ is like. It burdens me that so many people are dying and will never know the love, the mercy, or the compassion of Jesus Christ that only He can give. My heart breaks at all of these things. He gave everything for me. He gave His sinless life for me and I feel like I only give Him the minimum sometimes. I cannot even fathom the love that Jesus Christ had for us that He would do something totally selfless for me who is more selfish than selfless. I know they say that you are your harshest critic but I fully believe that Jesus burdens us for things that we would look over, forget or miss. I think that I have definitely been missing out on time with Him. And I am going to vow myself to spend more time in the Word and more time in prayer because I don't want to give God just the minimum. I don't want to get so complacent with the way that my life is. I don't ever want to think that I'm good because Jesus saved me. That I'm good because I have put my faith and trust in Him. Because I'm not good. There is nothing good in me. It's all Jesus Christ working in and through me.
