Crisp fall mornings with coffee and a Bible could not be more perfect! However, as I sat down to read this morning it was the first time all week. I felt like crap for not making more time for it but then my RA told me something that really hit home.
We don't have to be perfect everyday of reading our Bibles. We are not perfect humans so it's okay to not have everything together everyday. While we strive for perfectionism; we fall short.
God loves us anyways. Maybe it's saying a five second prayer everyday and then spending an hour and a half one a week. Maybe it's having time everyday to sit for that hour and a half. It's about balance. Which is hard, right?
College is so much. Between classes, homework, studying, friends, extra-curricular stuff and everything in between it's hard to make time. That is okay to struggle to find balance.
It has taken me years to even start to get my footing on how to handle everything. However, it hasn't been learning to juggle but accepting that I can't do it all alone.
Sometimes though, God will stop everything and show you how blessed you are when you least expect it. Don't take those moments for granted.
Are you appreciating this fall Friday?
