I am a student. Sometimes I wish that wasn’t true. Like right now. This physics isn’t going to learn itself, but I’m honestly not sure that I’m going to learn it either.
I am a World Racer. I want to be a World Racer right now. I desperately want it to be July, so that I can go. Because going means making a difference. Going means adventure. Going means no more physics. Going means God.
But being a student also means God. Being a student means using the skills that God has gifted me. It means learning about relativity and actually knowing what E=mc^2 means. It means being here now.
The World Race isn’t an escape from school. It’s what comes next, after school. It isn’t going to solve all of my problems. In fact, it will probably create more things to stress out about than I have right now. I’ll probably be wishing I was learning about atomic physics.
A relationship with God doesn’t always mean that you’re living on the edge. Sometimes the edge is pulling an all-nighter and trusting the Lord to provide you with strength to make it through the day. Sometimes the edge is talking to that person in class next to you. Sometimes the edge is not going, and trusting the Lord to use you where you are. Sometimes the edge is trusting God that physics isn’t a complete waste of time, and somewhat worthwhile to learn.
I am a student, and the Lord is using me here.
