"and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised" -2 Corinthians 5:15 ESV
Convicting, considering that as I end this quarter, and begin the last quarter of this my college career, I am making so many plans. I make these plans, and the backup plans of those plans, so that when I graduate I'll be ready to travel the world, see new things, learn new trades, and experience life... whatever that means. I realize that in the midst of all of this, I do this for myself.
I vowed that I did not want to be idle and waste time by "taking a year off." But I realize that by making these plans for myself so that I can do more things (for myself), I'm wasting it. Not to get all preachy, but that's what a lot of us do, we idle... and idle... and idle... even though we keep ourselves busy and entertained, we're still idling. As long as we aren't living for Him, we're idling.
I don't want to be like that. I want to be able to pursue Christ, whether I'm studying or traveling the world, I want to live my life for Christ in all aspects.
time to recheck and reevaluate my plans, and what I'm truly doing this for. thank you Jesus.
i hope your year off includes plans to visit me :)
