Funny thing about time, there never seems to be enough of it. We are always rushing around trying to get things done "in time." We are always thinking about what we could do if we only had "more time."
Personally, time has never been an issue for me. I never have really concerned myself with it. "Don't worry, be happy" has been my motto. I would "get there when I got there." I did not allow myself to be stressed over issues of time.
However, now my 24 year young sister is fighting cancer and suddenly time is of the essence. The funny thing about time is that it's all a matter of perspective. We all have the exact same amount of it. I have the same amount today that I had a year ago and yet it is suddenly far more precious to me. Now I find myself making charts and schedules. I make sure that I am not late and I make the most of all that I do. And of course, my most precious time are the moments with my sister. I cannot seem to get enough time with her. There are never enough hours in the day and time seems to slip away so quickly.
Thankfully, in Christ time ultimately does not matter. For in Christ, we function on God's eternal clock. I try to continually remind myself that my sister and I are both working on God's time, not ours. God is not concerned with seconds, minutes, hours, days or even years. God is focused on my eternal schedule. The funny thing about God's time, there is always more of it. Praise God!

Not only does "time" not matter in Christ but our destination of Heaven is one cool place that I'm actually looking forward to being in one day.
Rick Atchley taught some great lessons on "a correct view of Heaven" at the Pepperdine Bible Lectures this past year that were outstanding.
We will lift up your sister in prayer here in Central Florida. God bless you.
