The simple thing that I've been needing to do this whole time and I've been avoiding it. . . and I don't know why. I AM a new christian and I AM sometimes forgetful how powerful prayer is. It's amazing how at one in the morning I can have a great conversation about Jesus with some girl whom I've never met before while sitting on the swings, but I forget about my prayers just 10 minutes later.
I go to supper tonight with my entire floor and our RA and sit with some of the guys whom I've talked to before, yet barely a word is said between us. I try to talk to them and it's like I'm some alien from a different planet trying to make conversation. No that's not the reason I don't want to be here, but it helps with the process of deciding if I want to stay or go back to Iowa.
As I'm sitting there, I start to think about prayer. I've been struggling through all of this and am FINALLY realizing that I need to pray constantly about this. I need to talk to God and listen to what he is saying.
Annnddd my mom calls to screw up my night. Thanks.
Dude, I didn't even know that you were blogging! Glad it popped up on my Google+ account today.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I don't know how many times I skip prayers just because I undervalue them... which is wrong. It's nice to know that even when the people around you are stagnant, you can still talk to God. It's like having a best friend everywhere.
