Freewrite about my custom designed ATM. 

Rather than spewing money from its slots, my custom ATM would spew forth time.

A machine giving me time would equal my dreams coming true. With this extra time I would create a positive sleep account and delete the negative sleep account I am living life with. I would create a balance in my life for time to do pleasurable things and time to do constructive, challenging tasks, such as school.

Because I would have enough time for sleep, I would have enough energy and time to give task 100 percent of my efforts. With an ATM time machine I would have enough time to spend with hours upon hours with family and friends. Hours could be spent with my horses, training them and then exploring the surrounding countryside with them.  I would have enough time to go canoeing down rivers and across lakes. I could travel to Boston to visit my sister.  I would spend months learning and perfecting dance skills. I might even develop enough talent to compete in dance. I might go to school to study chemistry to learn how I might help my two youngest siblings with their mental challenges. I would go other countries were poverty is prevalent. I would go there so I could become more appreciative of what I hold dear to my heart.  I would go to the poorest part of this word and work alongside a man or woman for the day.   I would learn how to play the standup bass. I would become a member of a Jazz band.  I could go shopping for hours on end with my younger sister, even though I strongly dislike shopping. I would have time to open a Gluten Free restaurant with my older sister.  I would have enough time to study painting with my sister in Boston. I have enough time to become a member of my friend’s rock band. I would take vocal singing lessons so I could sing and play bass for the band. I would have enough time to help manage our family farm.

But maybe all these things are desires of my heart, desires that will move me to live this life in the way God has planned.  God knows my life path; He has given me all the time I need. The greatest goal I can achieve is to use this time in the way he has planned for me.
