"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
It's been a while since I've blogged or even journaled. But as I finished up my devotions today, I saw how fast these past two weeks have been. It's already near the end of second week, and I've been so busy and caught up with hw, work, volunteer, ministries, church, that the few moments I have to myself is feels like a breath of fresh air.
You know the feeling when you just want to go back to the good ole' stress-free high school days? Or better yet the times when you used to play in the park in elementary school? I used to feel that so often, so much that it came to the point of me living in the past. I've learned that once you snap back to the reality of life, and see how God has blessed you more than you can imagine, thats when you can live life to its full potential.
It's not about what you wish you could do, or what you want to do, but rather it's what you're doing now. And in this time where I'm so busy with all of my ministries, I realize that there is no place I'd rather be. Sure, I could be spending my time a little more on my education, or working to earn a couple extra bucks. But I'd so rather be blessing and encouraging those around me in service.
I'll admit, it does get tiring. It gets so tiring to the point where me Extrovert starts to slowly become an introvert. But I was convicted through my devotions, that it's not about me. That my strength does not come from myself, but rather it's through going to Christ.
It honestly feels a little bit like my senior year HS days when I had 3 Club leadership positions, a whole lot of church ministry, and homegroup. I reflect on what I learned back in those days, and I see that God has been carefully laying out the stepping stones to get to this point.
No turning back.
