I did not think my posts here would reflect so much on my little university life but it is part of my life now and 80% of my days are focused on attending classes or doing school-related work - so it seems as if I do not think so much about anything else. I find it good to be so busy with school because I can relate (at last) to many Christians whose lives are busy, so busy that they say they do not have much time to read the Word of God or pray or go to Christian meetings or read a good Christian book. Now I understand them better, but I do not necessarily want to go with the flow and think that it is true: there is no time for God because I am so busy. No I need to make time for Him, everyday. I am glad I continue, day after day to meditate on His Word and pray. These days I always feel like I want to skip my quiet time with Jesus because it would give me one more hour or so to do homework. I would like to concentrate on school alone. Well it is not what I want to do (oh man this is not an essay for university I can actually use contractions, I’m bad!) because doing homework is usually no fun. But I would accomplish much more by using God’s time to work on ressearch and the like. But that would be unhealthy and wrong for me. There is always more homework to do and more books to read anyways. If I would exchange my time with Jesus with something else, than I’d be walking alone, on my own. And I know it is God who has called me to be here at university, so why would I want Him out of my day? I would be a fool.

I was not going to write on this topic tonight. All I want to do is to take a break from essay writing. I am rather proud of myself, I’ve written almost half of it so only 10 pages left to write, I am really encouraged by this. I want to keep my focus on God and I hope I will take my Sunday totally off. I like to say that even when there are deadlines to meet and always more work to do, one needs to stop from all those activities for a day every week. When one isn’t really busy it’s easy to do. But when one’s in university and it’s mid-term… it’s different. I hope I will practice what I preach this Sunday. Keep me accountable eh?
