Four weeks into the school semester, and I think I just got swamped. Papers to write, books to read, projects to research for, classes to attend, court summaries to study... the list goes on. Life suddenly sped up on me, and I sometimes wonder where I am going to find the time to complete everything I need to get done, and still find time for the important things in life. Between all the homework and the regular soccer practices and games, I am finding less and less time to spend on relationships.
I value my friendships highly, more highly than almost anything. Despite the business of life, I try to make my relationships with other people a top priority. However, my biggest fear is falling away from my relationship with God. God is the most important person in my life, and I never spend enough time with him. He deserves my best, my all; yet I am having a good day when I cram fifteen minutes of prayer/reading the Word at the beginning of it. I pray that God will help me make Him a bigger priority, and grant me the grace to dedicate more time to my Heavenly Father. I desire to reflect all of Him to the world around me, yet when I spend so much time on myself instead of Him, all I reflect to this world is my own sinfulness. Yet God is good. In his grace and mercy He continually forgives me and still calls me his own. In His arms I am secure.
