Spring break is near!!! But......


I can't believe spring break is almost here! I will be going home by train to see my family. They really miss me and I miss them all the more. I realized something today: time is really moving fast and I need to make the most of it. I believe time is going quickly because Jesus' return is drawing near. He longs for us to come home with Him in heaven. Sometimes when I think about that, I wonder will I get everything accomplished? Will my time here on earth be done before I am? Do I fear the future? What is there to come out of everything I get involved in? Only God can answer these questions. I fasted this past week but I feel like I've accomplished very little. I didn't pray every day like I was supposed to and my heart aches because of it. I'm praying now for forgiveness as I write this. God always forgives us but sometimes I still hang my head over the sin I committed. I shouldn't though. I learned in my Evangelism class that if God forgives us, we should forgive ourselves. If He forgot our sins, so should we. I hope and pray that I will get better with this. Sometimes I feel so self-conscious. I know though that God will always be there for me and always have His arms open wide.

Dear Lord, help me realize that You are the One I should trust in every situation. Help me realize what I need to do and what steps I must take to get it done. Thank You for being so faithful and forgiving. You truly are an Awesome God! In Jesus' Name I pray, amen:o)
