Busily focused on school
As you can see I have been pretty busy with school...I anticipated that it would be that way, which is why I do not post the actual date of my entry. Praise the Lord I have had A's in my first three classes. Even my college writing class, though I seemed, at least in my mind, to be struggling. I could not have done it without God.
One of the newest habits I have started doing to keep my focus on the fact that I am completely dependent on God-- is an alarm that I put on my desktop that goes off every hour. First thing in the morning during my devotions I pray Father God cover me in your grace, Jesus please keep me in your peace, Holy Spirit I need you every second of the day. When I hear my alarm I say Father God thank you for your grace, Jesus thank you for your peace, Holy Spirit thank you for your help.
I know without a doubt when asking for these things I am given them. God gives me just enough for today and through this habit I am starting to see why I have been reading so much lately through devotions and messages from God on my igoogle where he is calling me to acknowledge his presence continually through the day--that I need it because that is how he created me.
In the past, it would happen so quickly and I would be trying to do things on my own. Having that constant reminder of where my strength comes and that he will give me all that I need-- has made an immeasurable difference. There are so many I cannot count.
Well this is a short and sweet entry as I injured myself yesterday and have a very sore pointer finger when typing. I encourage you to start thinking of habits that will remind you of God continual presence. You can use mine or create your own that will fit your lifestyle. You will be fulfilling a large need in your heart that nothing else will fill.
