As the World Turns

I haven’t posted anything in a long time which shouldn’t surprise me. I always seem to be on the go or have something (usually school stuff) that needs to be done. Anyways, just thought that I would post what has been going on with me lately for those of you whom I don’t see much.

Graduate school is totally different than undergrad. No laziness allowed. I have a small group of classmates that I see in each class Monday through Thursday. I truly appreciate each of these people and we all have a blast together. The classes are super challenging but I can also tell that I am learning and finally using so many new skills.

I am freakin loving the church that I have been attending for a couple of months. I love that I can go in and listen to the Pastor preach for an hour and a half, and still desire for him to keep going. I haven’t felt that in a very long time. I have been going to the church’s Bible study and I am definitely the youngest person in attendance. Despite the lack of people my age, that time during the middle of my week is a blessing. I am slowly (and I do mean very slowly) getting to know the members of the church. I really want to become as active in the church as possible. It is easy to stay in my comfort zone and do the minimal, but God doesn’t call me to be a minimalist in my participation in His body of believers. So, I ask that concerning me and this church you would pray that: 1) the young adults who come Sunday morning would really desire to meet with God and others more than once a week (this request is somewhat selfish because I want more people there my age but is also out of a desire to see God move among the next generation of this church), and  2) that I will continue to work towards trying to see ways that I can possibly serve.

As I was writing down these two topics, it got my mind whirling on all the other things that I could put down but I realized that they are of little importance. This got me to thinking how prioritizing is something that God is teaching me about right now. In this time of my life where I am having to adapt to changes in friendships, getting involved in a new church, and the chaos and busyness that school presents; God is imprinting into my mind constantly how He comes first. He is patient because I am sometimes a slow learner or forgetful of this.  

All in all, life is good. Gooood
