doh
you'd think that having class only two days a week would give me ample time to prepare for the few tests and quizzes i'm bound to have during the semester. yet here i find myself @ 2 am the night before a spanish test, having just finished making the last something like 200 flashcards that i should have memorized by 12:40 tomorrow afternoon. you wish you could procrastinate like me.
ever have one of those spans in time where it seems like you're just floating through life? nothing earth-shaking or life-altering is happening and you're kinda just doing your thing? i feel like i'm in one of those right now. not that i prefer disastrous occurrences to the relative peace i'm experiencing right now, but i could use a little spice in life, ya know? i definitely fill all my time and get various things done, but it's almost as if i'm doing things with no end result. is there any fruit from my recent actions? where's the adventure? i simply can't live the tame life of the world would have me live, and my life should demonstrate that. if i live the way i need to, i should naturally draw attention to myself and thus the Lord, bringing Him glory. the bad guy is pretty slick though. he'll get you thinkin you're living the right way when, in reality, you've slipped into some mundane routine that's keeping glory from God. so be vigilant in that sense....you have to be constantly conscious of where you are vs. where you should be, and take the neccessary steps to get there while trusting the Spirit to do the real work. it sounds crazy, but it makes for a much more interesting and fruitful life.
God bless y'all.
sounds: shane barnard & shane everett - hosea
