Today I realized how important the Sabbath is in the Bible. I was reading a part of Exodus, and while I was reading, there were three separate "chunks" that talked about keeping the Sabbath day holy. So I decided that this year, I never will do homework on Sundays. Six days I shall do all my work, but the seventh will be a Sabbath day, a day of rest to honor God. I want Sunday to be a day I look forward to. A day of renewal for the week. A day to remember how God brought me through the last week, and a day to remember that I need to rely on God for the next day. It's really important.
I remember that at camp I would really look forward to Sunday. Worship was awesome, and after worship I got to have solo time. After those two things I would be so recharged and ready to conquer the next week. I would often get distracted from God throughout the week, but Sunday was my day to refocus. To gain perspective again.
I really think this is a good challenge for me this school year. I hope that I can keep it up, and I know that God will bless me through this.
