Hey World!
I have approximately 15 days left of this semester of school…I am bitting my nails due to stress of homework and excitement for the end of yet another semester. I have sent out my support letter and I hope you have received them, if not they are coming (if you do not receive one in a week, call or email me and I will send you one)!
I am at a lost for words and my sense of peace as gone missing. Blogging is not a huge passion of mine, but God normally walks me through what is on my heart and what I need to write. In the craziness of my life, I know God is asking me to slow down and seek Him. As a college student who goes to a Christian College, I sorta get lazy, and kill two birds with one stone. Some say this is a good thing, but not in this case. I use my homework time, which often includes Bible readings, Christian books, etc, as my God time. In the words of Christoff, “All men (change ‘men’ to: Christian College Students) do it.” In other words, I have been doing this a lot, and it has been URBER bad reflective on mine and God’s personal relationship. Hence this babbling blog. BUT as my prayer warriors, as my supports, as my family and friends, I want you to know about the bad, ugly, good, beautiful, crazy, mistakes, hardships, etc that I face and am dealing with BEFORE and during my World Race trip.
So, what are my worries that I need prayer for? Well, as of a week ago, and I think my support letters spur this on in a way, I started worrying about finical funding. As one of my professors would say, “Honest to Pete,” it is the worst feeling to have to worry. To not have the sense of peace from God that I felt before and faith that I know is required of me. Secondly, School. I do this every semester and you think I would learn, but I have tons of homework and numerous distractions (House of Cards, Tiger’s Destiny: Book #4, napping, etc). Real life struggle. Okay, okay, so I am not that motivated, but nonetheless, I am worrying about my lack of motivation and my quickly approaching homework deadlines.
I guess what I really need from all of you is PRAYER. Prayer that I am seeking my time with God. Prayer that I find peace about raising money and acquire an abundance of faith for God to provide. Prayer that I crank out my homework and continue my record of Dean’s List. Finally, prayer for my preparation for the World Race. Thank you.
