72 hours...

I can't have it all...so what gives? What is the order on the totem pole? The things of this life are so intertwined that removing one causes the whole stack to tumble.

If I cut out meals I die
If I cut out drive time I don't go anywhere
If I cut out prayer my spirit starves
If I cut out friends, family, romantic life, church, the same happens
If I cut out TV/sports, movies, my friend life suffers
If I cut out reading my mind suffers
If I cut out exercise my body suffers
if I cut out my passion, interests for myself, who I am suffers

what do I do? what do I do when I am pulled every way and I want to have it all in my life?

on top of all of this I am told not to be too busy, I am told to make room in my life for peace and to calm the schedule...

72 hours to live...

Time
Money
Relationships
Passion

which one goes? again they are all connected... in a strange way its a list but yet it is one thing...

Life.

if any of it is taken away can I still have life?

how can I expect to pour love into a woman when I can't dedicate the time required?
If I give up my passions to focus that time on this person, then who she was originally attracted to dies. Thus the relationship will shortly follow.

How are we suppose to live?
What would the ideal weekly schedule look like in the Kingdom of God on Earth as it is in Heaven?

I can barley find the time to write once a week what is on my heart. This place I use to view as an oasis to unload my self I now view as another task that must be scheduled.

am I suppose to be single?
am I meant to be with someone?
It doesn't seem to be naturally working. It seems to demand more and more of me and even still I find myself lacking, disappointing, letting down, hurting, wounding.

By trying to care for someone, I end up hurting them the most through my physical limitations and constrictions of time. What is the more loving thing to do? Be with them and disappoint, or let them go?

the bible, the "handbook for life" the "instruction manual" seems to be lacking a couple chapters I'd like to read...
