I Told A Friend About My LIfe Lately And She Pointed Something Out
Things are going very well for me. It is a strange and powerful
contrast to last semester where I was on the edge of myself, last
semester where I almost just walked away.
What merited her comment (note title) was the fact that I recently got a job (that I love), got a new bike (that I love), and I have a wonderful girlfriend (who I love in a far better way than my job or bicycle). This isn't to mention the things I didn't mention in that conversation like my new major for instance and how much I love it. This isn't to mention that my knee is getting checked out and that I have medical insurance. This isn't to mention the fact that I've got some awesome friends. Far more importantly than all of this, it isn't to mention the fact that my relationship with God has been nothing short of amazing.
The first thing I struggle with now when taking on a new task, responsibility, or enjoyable commitment is its affects on my relationship with God. With each thing I have to pray long and hard as I grow in my relationship with Him. I do not walk alone, I walk in an intimate relationship with God which I do not allow anything to challenge. The amazing thing is that God invites me and all that I am committed to into that intimate relationship.
Speaking of all of these wonderful things, I'm going to go spend some quality time with one of the aforementioned praise reports. Not the job and not the bike, I'm sure you can figure it out from there.
