So a lot has happened since the last time I've written a post. Honestly, it's nice having a busy summer. I stayed in Dallas for only a week, and I felt like my body was rotting away. The longer you are in college, the less you want to stay at home. But busy-ness can also be a dangerous thing.
I've received a lot of opportunities this summer. Honestly, there are so many blessings in my life. And I haven't done anything to deserve or earn them. For example, I've started working with my Jubilee Project team. That's been such an exciting process. Also, I've officially signed my internship offer with EY! For those of you who don't know what that is. EY is an accounting firm. So I'll be working their during the spring semester of 2014. But like I said, I'm so thankful that God has blessed me with these opportunities.
Back to the dangers of busy-ness. I've found myself being a little too busy. It's good to be occupied and to be productive with your time. However, it's a problem when you lose your priorities. I found myself losing sight of what really matters, which is Christ.
In my case, I began to give credit to myself for the things I accomplished. Whether it was small chores or assignments, I didn't give thanks to Christ. This is obviously not a good thing. If I can't put God at the center of the small things I do, then how could I possibly keep him in the center of the big opportunities I have. More specifically, I don't want to lose sight of Christ in my opportunities with Jubilee Project and my EY internship.
So yeah. That's what's been happening. As you can see, I'm in no way a perfect person. But I want to share my experiences to encourage whoever is reading this.
