It is only Tuesday?!
Wow, within the first four words of this post I seem to have successfully turned my once optimistically thought of post into a...not so optimistic post. Let me re-word this...It is only Tuesday!
I keep telling myself that classes will get better after each week, but they never do. This week...I believe there may actually be some light at the end of the tunnel! Honestly, I do not understand how I still have A's in all of my classes. This year has been tough for me. I can only point my finger to God when I explain how I am getting through this year.
Before I came to college, everyone said I will most likely change my major. Reluctantly, the thought of changing has never occurred. If anything, I have grown to like my major more and more. Sometimes I get really annoyed and anxious when I think of the classes I am taking or have to take, but then I remind myself, "There is not a major more fitting for me than Communication." Overall, I love it. My stressful nights will pay-off in the end. I am pretty much almost done with all of my Gen-Ed classes, so it is nice to actually take classes applicable with my life. At least my professors tell me they are applicable...
To take a little break from school, I spent a weekend at home. It was my first visit home since I moved in this year, and it was nice. This last weekend was the only weekend till my birthday that I could make it home to celebrate with my family. We might have celebrated two weeks in advance, but it is always nice to come home and enjoy a nice home-cooked meal.
As I went home this weekend, I realized how much I put off the thought of school because I was so excited to be home and wanted to give my attention towards my family. Sure, I may have had a little homework to do, but overall, I tried to eliminate school as much as possible out of my mind. This thought makes me look at how I spend my time with God. Something I need to work on is removing all of the distractions surrounding me when I am with God, and put my full attention on Him. How am I supposed to have a real conversation with Him, if I am not completely in the conversation.
Recently I have been so distracted with stresses of school that I have struggled to give God all of my attention at times. With two tests to take today and two more tomorrow, my life may seem booked. In reality, I should not be planning my time with God around my other tasks, and if I cannot fit it in than I leave it out. No, I should if be placing my time with God as one of my top priorities. God knows I have a busy life, but He also knows that I need to get out of my distractions and go to Him.
Behind this busy life, I know I have a God right by my side. Before I work on my communication homework, I should be at home working on my communication with God!
...that...was cheesy.
