I haven't had as much free time as I'm having this holiday for ages and I'm finding myself to be quite reflective. Maybe my schedule is too busy in Portsmouth.
Having time with nothing to do seems like a new thing for me and I'm not sure if that's good or bad. On the one hand it's nice to have free time and not have this and that to be doing etc etc, but on the other hand I really like making the most of every minute so having time 'to kill' is something that I'm not comfortable with. I've only got one life, I wanna make the most of it and squeeze everything I can from it, not for me but for His glory.
I wonder about having me time. I quite like having things to do with my time that lead to other outcomes - sorting things for the Christian Union, getting coursework done, earning some money or just plain building good, deep, meaningful friendships with people I know - but time to just veg and do nothing I'm not so big on.
I want to make the most of my free time this holiday and do what matters. I put some films on my laptop but I only really want to use those when I'm travelling on the coach/train and I really can't do anything else. I don't wanna spend my holiday as a couch potato. It's been nice visiting old placements and seeing people, but catching up only goes so far and I could probably have done what I've allowed 2/3 days for in 1 day. It's slightly true of home too, there's only so many people I can catch up with before I've run out of things to do, I have some Uni work to finish but I need to make sure I get some time to rest and be away from that as well.
So I wanna try and push myself to invest as much time and energy I can into the relationship that matters most - spending serious time in prayer, worship and the bible in my free time.
Let's see how it goes eh.
