Two Weeks Later

I can’t believe that it’s been two weeks since I’ve last posted!  Time has been flying out the windows for me.  I have hardly had time to sit and think, let alone get bored (although I do get bored when I’m doing my homework and in class) from a lack of things to do.

I wish I could say that things are better now, that I’ve gotten my act together and have been spending more time with God.  But that would be lying.  I just don’t know where to begin.  I like things to be orderly, so having a plan of some type would be good.  It would be great for some Heavenly body to say, “Here, read this first and then read that.”  Because I would know to read this and then that.  And maybe something like that would come to me if I would open my Bible more often.  I know that most of my stress and frustration is caused by not spending time with God.  (For some reason, that made me think about this poem [at least I think it's a poem] about not waiting around for Death, so Death waited around for me)

One of the things I remember vividly about my parents’ church is the pastor advocating taking one day a week off because “you can get more done in 6 days with Christ than you can in 7 without Him.”  It seems like the times that I’ve tried this, I did get more done.  Probably because that leisure allowed me to think with a clear mind and I was able to remember what needs to be done, what should be done (but isn’t necessary), and what could be done.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that I need to stop and smell the roses sometimes because pretty soon new challenges are going to present themselves and I’ll be spending a while thinking of how to surmount those.  If I can get to this point where I have peace, I will be able to take on anything…

I’m about to update my reading challenge page, so check it out.

Let the games begin…
