Lately I have been reminded again and again of just how imperfectly human I am. As much as I try, it seems that I can never get everything in my life to work out. One week I'll feel like I'm doing really well with nursing school. I'm getting all my reading, studying, and assignments done and really feel like I'm learning something. But then because of the extra time I spend on school work, I spend less time investing into my friends and classmates. The next week I might feel like my relationship with God is really great. I'll feel like I've really grown close to him that week, and that he is teaching me so much. But then I notice that I'm way behind on getting things ready for the youth group on Wednesday night.
I really don't understand how all the facets of my life are supposed to work out. This is hard for me, because I really struggle with trying to handle things myself without giving them to God. I've been doing a Beth Moore bible study on the life of Christ, and it has been really good so far. I think I'm going to begin looking closer though to how Jesus managed the different areas of his life. Crazy to think about, I know; it almosts seems like Christ wouldn't have "facets" of his his life. But I think he did. He had a family. He worked as a carpenter. He had those he ministered to through healing and meeting their physical needs. He had his relationships with his disciples. Those are just a few. But in all these, his purpose was always to furthur his father's kingdom.
Jesus said that the greatest commandment was to Love God. Love People. Sounds so simple.
"I'm always... One step away from breaking down 10 minutes late and I'm totally falling down And it's so plain to see I am my own worst enemy One more day and I'll get it right I'm a trip, I'm a mess and I'm crying on the inside That's why it feels so good to say That Your only a prayer away." -Cadia
