So I got home from SpringHill, excited for college to start. Excited to live out the life Jesus has called me to. I was frustrated because I have two weeks before college. And I've realized I've been wasting it, sitting in front of the tv or facebook for hours. Sitting on the couch eating barbecue chips. Instead I could be praising my God, or preparing for this school year. I could be helping out around the house. I'm glad I realized this before these two weeks are over.
Life is a war. A constant fight for my desires. Constantly being tempted, constantly having to be on my toes, ready to resist temptation. Remembering always that loving the Lord is top on my list. All my heart, soul, mind, and strength have to be loving God above all else. I choose to glorify God. I want to run this race, fight this fight. I need to wake up every morning and spend time with God. I need that focus in the morning.
Oh Lord, I want to live my life for You. Living it for myself just isn't cutting it. That's not what I was made for. I commit this year to you. Work in my life. Let me not be selfish. Let me live for You. Let me run this race, and live a life of discipline, because You are most important in my life, and I want my life to reflect Your beauty.
