Chaotic College Life..

One thing I know for sure about this stage of my life is that it is busy. In the one free second I have during the day, the furthest thing from my mind is keeping up with my blog. Joel says I take on so much because I have good ideas, but then I overwhelm myself. I agree, but I don’t know that I’ll ever change. Anyways, I have kept my wisdom from the world, and for that I am sorry 🙂 Anyways, being so busy with my school work, working at the elementary school, my family, and church, it is easy for me to think of everything as just another job or task I need to get done. Which is what I have been doing for the past two months. I’ve been going through the semester like a zombie. I’m just trying to get by until summer. Today in education class, after chugging an energy drink to keep me awake, we had a class speaker. Bill Warren, who used to be the principal for Hamilton Cos alternative school stressed the importance of personal relationships with students. Today at work, I actually got to know one of my students. Now, before you say yay for Kalah, trying to see her job as an opportunity to make an impact, I will point out that this was not a conscious effort. However, once it happened, it was like wild fiire. Later at church, I talked to a middle school girl. Not just hey how are you, but TALK. I realized that every task, whether or not it seems enjoyable (such as walking kids to the bathroom at school or sitting by a girl I don’t know in class) is an opportunity from God. Even this blog, which at first seemed like just another thing on my plate is a gift because God can use me for so much. I think before I knew this, but I didn’t fully understand the impact it could have on me. I didn’t even imagine it could impact someone else.. but God can use anything. Anyways, those are my thoughts for today. And hopefully the beginning of my postings as an opportunity and not of a committment.

PS- Joel, if you ever read this, HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🙂
