Lately, I've been feeling disconnected. It may be because I'm working 32 hours a week at two jobs and am always rushing around trying to be on time. It may be that I've been overly concerned with my relationships. It may be because church and youth group aren't the only things I do other than volleyball. I now swim, play volleyball, staff middle school youth group, work like I mentioned, participate in church and youth group, and try to make time for relationships with my friends and family. What I've realized through this, however, is that I can't have excuses. I need to make time for God and focusing on Christ. Without that, I can't be successful in anything I mentioned above. It's time to get my priorities in order. No more doing one devotional a day and mindlessly reading a couple passages before bed. Time to get back into high gear. I may be interning at NOAA which is awesome, don't get me wrong, but that's not my life purpose. Ultimately, I'm interning for Christ. Analyzing hours and hours of data will not further my relationship with our heavenly Father. I am ready to commit myself every day to learning Christ's ways and imitating Him for others as best as possible. I am ready to be challenged in my faith and to focus on how to glorify God in everything I do. I love you, whoever may be reading this! Hopefully more posts to come.
Thank you!
