Even If It's Just for Five Minutes
Hello, ladies!
I have survived Week 1 of Maymester *insert applause*! Gosh, last week was something serious with the busy schedule, the exams, the projects, the lack of sleep, running out of the food I had packed by noon (a serious problem!)... BUT God has been with me the whole way!
Speaking of God, I haven't been able to have my quiet times with Him since Maymester has started (except for Saturday). To be honest, this has left me feeling a little guilty. I know that God knows my heart and knows that I have a busy load these two weeks, but I also don't want that to be an excuse. I do get at least two 15 minute breaks each day, and I can always wake up earlier or stay up later to get that one-on-one time.
Beside feeling slightly guilty, I have also noticed that I have become more tired, irritable, and not guarding the doors to my heart lately. I know for a fact it is because I haven't spent time with Him and His Word to refresh me and just let me vent to have that "woo-sah!" moment.
I was so disappointed last week because I was supposed to join this challenge on Instagram, #OneHourEarly, in which we are supposed to get up one hour earlier to spend time with our King. I have failed miserably. But, I am learning not to always beat myself up when I don't succeed at something, but to just try again.
Even though the challenge ended yesterday, I will do my own personal challenge of spending time with God for the rest of the week. I want to be more intentional in taking some time out of my day to chat with my Savior, even if it's just for five minutes.
Welp, this post was definitely just supposed to be a quick check-in as I got schoolwork on top of schoolwork to do, but I guess the Lord had other plans!
Love you, sis!
