Yesterday. Which was Sunday, I almost had a break down. I'm a procrastinator, and I wait until the last possible moment to do something, then I procrastinate some more. For instance:
this week...
Today, I have to work on a project due tomorrow (which I am currently doing, I'm just taking a break) I've got to finish up some homework that's due tomorrow as well, and I have 1140 bible study tonight that I lead.
Tomorrow isn't so bad, but I have to spend most of that day getting things ready for Wednesday, because Wednesday is that bad.
I have a project due on Wednesday and a test that morning, and... I know there's something else I'm just blanking out at the moment.
Sunday night I'm thinking about what all I've gotten myself into. I didn't have to be here. When I signed up for college and declared my major, I didn't sign my life away saying that I would be this stressed. It's my own fault. And I realize this completely. I was having my time with Jesus this morning when he opened my eyes pretty wide:
Joshua 3:9
" Joshua said to the Israelites, 'Come here and listen to the words of the Lord your God.' "
Pretty straight forward... But how do we hear God? And better yet... What's he saying? Here's what he said to me:
Before making you schedule, take time to focus on what I want from all your activities. Knowing what I have said before you rush into your day can help you avoid foolish mistakes.
I replied with my mouth wide open and that verse forever embedded on my heart.
How often do we have quiet times that hit us so hard until we actually HEAR what God has to say? The answer I would give for that question: very rarely.
