Where does time go??


Everywhere I go, I am hearing people say "Where has the summer gone?"  or "Where does time go?!" I have found myself saying both a few times myself recently.  I feel like time is moving so rapidly -- almost like the pages of a book flipping in the wind...


It can make me feel anxious and regretful, but I want to be the kind of person who doesn't have a lot of regrets but who makes the most of her time. I am learning, slowly but surely, that the way to make the most of my time is to spend more time with God. I know, it seems like DUH, but honestly, I struggle with that.  There is so much noise in my life right now, and I have to constantly fight to eliminate what is unnecessary.

We need to find God, 
and He cannot be found in noise and restlessness. 
God is the friend of silence. 
See how nature—trees, flowers, grass—grows in silence; 
see the stars, the moon and the sun, 
how they move in silence. 
We need silence to be able to touch souls.”
Mother Teresa of Calcutta
