Renewed committments

If I were to be asked the proverbial pick-up line, "Are you tired? Because you've been running through my mind all day!" I would promptly respond that I was, and I am now going to sit down on my bench and catch my breath.

Truth is, I'm tired of running; I'm tired of seeking; I'm just plain tired. I'm going to sit down on my bench, open up my books, and read. There are places I have to be, goals I have to meet, and things that are keeping me from them. Those things hindering me are no longer a priority in my life, and I have other ways to run.

If someone wants to catch me, then let them run. They can come find me. But for now I am on a mission for something else. After this week I will have just five classes left until I complete my master's degree. In between all of that I have my project to plan and execute. I am excited for it! And I hope it all works out :D

On top of everything, it certainly has been an interesting few weeks. I spent some time away where God and I had a chat. Ok, so it wasn't a chat... It was an, "If Elder Well's can give you a list, then I can too... Here's what I want..." I am not sure how my apparent demands are going to work out, but I know something will come of sacrifice.

Sitting here, I think about sacrifice and what an opportunity/blessing it is. We are asked to give up something good for something better. I am not sure I entirely understand what it is to sacrifice. There are things I have done in my life, but I am not sure they define "sacrifice." I am a person who gets distracted easily, and perhaps my challenge in this life is to learn to master my distractions.

This last weekend I learned some things, and I know there are many areas I need to improve on. Over the next eight weeks I am going to need to learn to master discipline. The class I am taking it quite rigorous, I have to take my Art Praxis exam in two weeks, I need to start planning for my project, and who knows what else is going to come my way.

I know in the midst of it all, Heavenly Father will bless me as long as I stay faithful and on the path. God is no respecter of persons and he will never give me more than I can handle. I just need to keep reminding myself of this. The next two months are going to be challenging, and I look forward to it!
