259. When Time Feels Like It's Moving Too Fast

Where is the time going? If you’re finding yourself saying, “I can’t believe it’s already July,” or wondering how your children, grandchildren, or even you have gotten older so quickly, this episode is for you.

In this heartfelt conversation, Julie shares her own struggle with how quickly life seems to pass. She offers a fresh, biblical perspective on living well in the time we have. Instead of focusing on how fast the days are slipping away, what if we shifted our attention to God’s faithfulness within them?

Using Psalm 90:12, “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom,” Julie explores what it means to recognize that our days are a gift from God and how this realization can change the way we live. Rather than longing to go backward, she encourages listeners to thank God for the moments they’ve already experienced and to become more intentional about noticing His goodness in the present.

When time feels like it’s moving too fast, can we do something about it?

Throughout the episode, Julie shares practical ways she’s learning to slow her pace, savor everyday moments, spend more intentional time with loved ones, and keep a written record of God’s faithfulness. She also offers simple reflection questions to help you appreciate this season instead of rushing through it.

If you’ve been feeling the sadness that often accompanies passing seasons or wondering where the year has gone, this episode will remind you that no day is wasted when God is in it. His goodness surrounds us in both the ordinary and extraordinary moments—we simply need to pause long enough to notice.

Julie also shares an update about the upcoming Abundant Life Mentoring Group and invites listeners to join the interest list for ongoing encouragement and community. If you’re looking for more personalized support, you’ll also find information about one-on-one Abundant Life Mentoring in the show notes.

You may not be able to slow down time, but you can learn to treasure it, and to see God’s faithfulness in every step along the way.
