Time with God

Last night while during swim practice i felt exhausted. Not oh-this-is-a-hard-workout exhausted. This was a i-just-want-to-sleep-for-a-week exhausted. My coach asked me why i was so tired i just responded with “I’m busy”. It got me think about just how busy i am.

On an average day i sleep to 5:30. 5:30 to 6:20 is getting ready for school and reading the SOTD. From about 6:30 to 5:30 im at school and doing drama. I go straight from school to swim which ends at 7:30. From then on its eating dinner, homework and going to bed a 10.

That’s a 14 hour school day, 8 hours sleeping, with 2 hour for random things. As a new Christian i was overwhelmed. I have to do all this and fit God into my life! WRONG! I’m not fitting God around my schedule I need to  fit my schedule around God. So I’m praying for God to help me better serve him. And it feels good!

P.S. I must say i feel disheartened with the world right now. I long for the heavenly kingdom. Why you may ask? While i was logging on to blog i saw a news article below the sign in sheet. I looked and it was titled “More Americans say they have no religion“. Some of the stats were astounding. But what troubled me where some of the comments posted. Of all the ones i read only 1 spoke truly about God and Jesus. Only 1! out of 30! Let me put this into context. America just passed the 300 million mark a year ago. If we scale it only ten million people would say something good about God. That’s just a little over 3%! 3 percent! I must say i feel lucky to have found a great church where there are people who have truly found the Word of God! and live in his Grace saved from their sins!
