Stop the Clock

Its time to slow down
I feel like a circus clown,
All around me the sound
Of time ticking around and around...

There is always so much we need to do,
But wait, is it a need a want, Do we always have to try something new?

I look back on my day
Only to say,
what have I accomplished today?

Is that all that really matters,
What's written in our notebooks, the checklists that are tattered.

I need to slow down to think
Just why am I here and what is making me sink?

What are my priorities? God, family and friends...
Am I doing good in these areas and if not which ones do I need to mend?

Stop the sound,
The ticking that goes round
Where are you spending your time?
Is that worth a dime?

Pray and ask God for answer
For what in your life should really matter.

Sometimes I go through a whole week and think back on it, and think....what did I do that made a good memory for my family or friends? Did I spend enough time with God? It is crazy how fast time flies by, and its scary...I don't want to wake up one day, and say, HEY! :) j/k, but for real....

I am challenging everyone to see what is a priority in their lives....and are you putting that first or just going with the world....and filling up your time with stuff that in the end doesn't really matter?
