Prioirities

Priorities are a hard thing to put in order. It seems like the things that you least want to do are always the things that need to be at the top of your priority list. School has never really been a priority for me. In all honesty pretty much my only motivation for doing school work is that I was expected to. So anytime I had any other option than doing school I would put off school work till the last minute.

This problem of priorities has gotten even worse as I have come to college. There is always something fun to do. I know that is hard to believe at a place like MC where it seems like so often there just isn't anything to do. But there is always something more appealing than homework. But I come to that point every week where I have to force myself to sit down and do the assignment just because I have to.

The same problem arises when I am trying to do a devotion. I know I should do it but there are so many times when I just don't want to. But in this case I feel bad for forcing myself to do it because I feel like I should be wanting to be in God's word. At these times I have to remember that my relationship with God is not based on how I feel. Sometimes I just have to sit down and do the devotion trusting God that he will teach me no matter how I feel if I will just make the effort to seek him.
