There is a time for everything, a season for every activity under heaven.
Ecclesiastes 3:1
The new school year inspires me, and frustrates others. As classes starts and we realize summer is coming to an end, we are faced with the same decision repeatedly: should we be social or studious? This verse reminds us that there is a time for everything. Don't be afraid to study on a Wednesday night instead of going out. First and foremost, we are students, we are here to get an education.
At the same time, there are definitely days where we need our friends, we need to relax and forget about the stress brought on by classes and assignments. The days where everything seems to be going wrong, there is NOTHING I love more than coming home to the hall, sitting on a couch, and hashing my day out with my sisters. Or grabbing a girlfriend and hitting the elliptical for 30 minutes.
Time management is so difficult, but extremely necessary, both in college and in the "real world", the working world.
Dreaming all the time instead of working is foolishness.
Ecclesiastes 5:7
Today's Prayer:
Dear God,
Thank you for allowing us to start a new semester at school, help us remember how lucky we are to have this opportunity. Be with us as we make decisions and attempt to manage our time. Guide us on our paths and assist us in our decision making. Above all, continue to watch over us and our loved ones daily.
Amen.
(Chapter Devotion)
