Well, February has been a pretty busy month already, and from the looks of my calendar...it isn't going to slow down. I have training this weekend for my mission trip to Belize on Friday and all day Saturday. I work all day on Valentine's Day =/. Major studying all next week. FCA retreat the weekend after next (SO PUMPED). THREE midterm exams the week after the retreat. Gross. Then it's my birthday weekend after that.
I honestly feel pretty overwhelmed with the stuff I have going on, but I am real excited about most of the stuff coming up in my life. Although it can get a little stressful being busy, I still like it. The only thing that I've been struggling with this week is making time for the Lord. Even though I've been on this amazing spiritual high these past few months, I've realized how important it is for my faith to continuously be seeking out the Lord and devoting my time-my life even-to him every single day. It isn't something that I can do just once and be set after that. Reading my bible on Monday will definitly not get me through the week. Praise gathering on Wednesday doesn't even get me through Thursday sometimes. For my faith, I need it every day. And it isn't even so much about needing it, but I want it. I want to know more about who God is, I want to learn things about myself and seek out what God's plan is for my life so that I can follow that. I'm a super nerd when it comes to school.. I really like it. And this is going to sound realllly stupid but please don't judge.. I honestly love to learn, and what could be better than learning about our Lord. There's so much that not only do we not know, but things that we can't even fathom. THAT'S AMAZING TO ME!!
I don't know what else to write.. I just got super tired all of a sudden. Goodnight.
p.s. Megan helped me come up with the amazing title of this blog, in case anyone was wondering. hahah =)

ReplyDeleteSo true! I heard someone give an analogy about the word of God once...she said that for her, it used to be like medicine. She would go to it when she needed healing, comforting, or guidance. But after she was intentional about getting in to God's word every single day, she said it became like food and water--something she could not make it through one day without.
Spending intimate time with the Lord every day can bring peace and joy in to days that would otherwise be filled with stress, worry, and doubt.
This is such a beautiful realization you've had here! I'd love to see where the Lord takes it, lovely lady!
