Memory Verse: 1 Timothy 6:18-19

How To Track Your Time (Awareness)
A time audit is an examination of how you’re spending your time, so that you can make more intentional choices with the minutes and hours in your days. It involves documenting yourself for a period of time (ideally a week), logging your activities, and the amount of time you spend on each. After your time audit, you’ll have a clear snapshot of where you’re directing your time, energy, and effort. Are your current rhythms of where you spend your time reflecting your priorities? If not, let’s change that!

Personal Reflection Questions (ACTION):
After tracking your time for two weeks reflect on these questions:
After auditing your time for the past two weeks, what did you become aware of in how you spend your time?
In Pastor Zach’s introduction video, he talked about our money should go into one of three categories, Faith / Family / Fun. Do I invest enough time in developing my FAITH? If not, what one thing can you do for the next month to help foster spiritual growth?
Do I invest enough time in investing into my FAMILY? If not, what one thing can you do for the next month to help invest into your family ?
Am I spending the right prop proportion on FUN compared to Faith and Family?
If not, what one thing you can give up for a to help you invest your time in your Faith or Family?
How can you invite God more into how you spend your time? What good things do you think would result if you inviting God into your calendar?
Are you a good steward of the time that God given you? Why or why not?
