Whew! What a week it’s been!
This week has been a week of adjustments. We’ve officially entered into our regular schedule here at CGA. I’ve got teachings, worship, homework, apprenticeships, and at least 35 new people around me to get to know.
I have to admit, it’s been a good while since I’ve had a full day of learning, work, AND a social life to balance on top of it. I’m having to learn where my pockets of free time are, and also, what do to with them. It’s time to use my time wisely.
Do I do my homework that isn’t due for a couple days?
Do I go hang out with my new roommates?
Do I go out with the crowd of other apprentices to ____ activity they are doing?
Do I go hide in my room and relax with some Netflix and introvert time?
And it’s all up to me. Just another step into the world of adulting.
As I adjust to being pulled in 15 different directions, I’m realizing one thing:
no matter how many things fill my life, it’s God who grounds me.
Before, spending time with God was the first thing to be kicked out of my day with barely justifiable excuses. Now, however, it’s the one thing I make sure to do with my time.
There’s a peace, a rest, a calm when I spend time with Him that I simply can’t get from anywhere else. And He meets me wherever I am.
I can be sitting by the side of the lake or nose buried in my journal in the middle of a busy coffee shop, or even as I whisper His name in the middle of the crowded office. He’s right there for me.
I couldn’t tell you what all this season of my life will bring, but I do know this: God is pulling me closer into deeper intimacy with Him. And I’m SO excited for what will come from it.
