It's been such a long time since I've posted anything- a really long time.
Perhaps it's because life has been too busy, too changing, too inconsistent.
Perhaps I just haven't made the time.
Nonetheless, I feel as though I should reintroduce myself to the novelty that is blogging.
Though it may be a while until I have caught up on all that I need to say, I have to start somewhere...
So here I go.
Firstly, similar to the idea I just laid forth, I have often found myself at a place where I don't make time for the truly important things in life. I see my life becoming more and more cluttered with things that cause me stress and pull me away from the things I love and the things I desire most to pursue. School. College. Homework. It all tears me away from things that should be prioritized amongst said busy work.
God time. I know, that's a trite and cliche phrase, but it's been an area in which I had been lacking throughout this year. I so easily push Him aside, forget His omnipresence, and continue to seek things other than Him. It wasn't until just a few short months ago that I realized how incredibly simple it is to set aside even a small portion of time for God. If it means I pull my face away from my computer screen for a full 5, 15, 30 minutes more than usual, and instead absorb His word and bow my head in prayer, there is no excuse for me to not spend time with my Lord.
On top of this, I've found is so amazing to be able to just fill my free moments with prayer. Walking to and from classes and campuses, I just take my time to pray. I've also made an effort to carry a Bible with me in my purse.
We carry our phones with us at all times- our mode of connecting with our friends and family.
But why is it so uncommon for us to carry our Bible with us- one mode of connecting with our God?!
Simplicity is sometimes so complicated to understand in our society- it's too crowded and cloudy.
Yet simplicity is something that we need to understand in order to prioritize our lives in a way that most glorifies God.
It's not that hard. In fact, it's quite simple. Simplicity is simple? Ha, yeah, who would've thought?
