Down to Business

First semester of college, check.
First break in over a year and a half, check.
Moving back to school in two days, affirmative.
Still have a million things to do in a few days because I've been sick for a week and a half, yup.
Second semester of collage starting Monday January 14th 2013 sadly and happily, yes.

After saying goodnight to Grammy this evening, she told me to take one day at a time. For each day we grow a little older. This is more than true, I grow more and more wrinkly inside all the time!
As I think back over the past six months, I am shocked to see all I have done. To see all the Lord has been doing. More than these things I am moved by the patience and care Abba has bestowed upon me. I have been most torn over maintaining consistency in our relationship. Recently my father mentioned in a family Bible study that God deeply longs to be known. This truth sunk in slowly, but in time it hit me hard. To know the heart of God...now that would be miraculous! How I long to seek the Lord as King David did, to pursue the Lord and seek with all of my being. This is a wonderful motivation, why then does it seem so impossible?It makes me feel a little sad, knowing that this can never be fully possible so long as I am in the flesh. It will truly take all of eternity to know the Savior. This then turns into a hunger for Him, to continue after Him, to look for Him in and through all. This is my motivation, to take in all I am learning in hopes to better understand the myriad of facets that make up the heart of God.

This next semester I hope to be more intentional, more studious, more focused than I ever have in my studies before.Here and now, looking ahead, I have found that there are a few things I need to work on. The first is to continue working on the quality of communication between with family and friends. This is because my future schedule looks grimly packed and the time I will make for loved ones will be precious and not as lengthy as I'd like. Balancing school, work, and the need to make more time is a big responsibility, because it affects those around me. Awareness of staying connected with loved ones is priority, because I love them and them I. Just as the Lord is faithful to His loved ones, so I long to be to mine.

Reality check before wrapping up preparations for the second semester of college, check.
Alright second semester, LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS.
