God's Presence

I'm on this kick of actually posting on my blog right now and I had a couple minutes of free time this morning and not enough time to get into any homework project, but too much time to just waste so I thought I'd share some of what God is doing in my life.

Recently, at Burlington Bible Methodist Church where I attend, Bro. Stetler has been preaching a series about how to have God's presence. I have been trying to put into practice the advice and tips that he has been giving from God's Word on how to have God's presence in every moment of my life. The difference is life-transforming! I have discovered a new joy in my personal prayer time every morning. I have found God in even the little "mundane" activities throughout my day - sitting in classes, working on a plumbing repair, etc.

It's so wonderful to have a God that cares about me every moment of every day! When I give him the "ordinary" moments he makes them special and holy moments that are full of his presence and his peace. Talk about a way to live a peaceful and joyful life! Try inviting God into every moment of your life and see how much of a difference it makes!

Homework schmomework!

This weekend, when all my friends are out having fun (the time of their lives I'm sure), I am seated comfortably in front of my computer desk with a cup of Caramel Drizzle coffee doing homework.

Yes. It's Friday night. Yes. I would much rather be out partying and socializing. I would like to say that it's because I'm so mature, dedicated, and diligent. The truth is...Well, you can think that I'm mature, dedicated, and ambitious. I like that better. I'm a week behind! There! I said it! I hope you're not one of those people that reads the small print.

So anyway...back to the homework. Wish me luck! Have a great weekend everyone! Oh yeah. And think of me as I continue steadfast in the way of maturity, dedication and diligence. I can see light at the end of the tunnel! (But what is that whistle that keeps getting louder and louder?)
