I've been thinking a lot lately... a lot about the future, what I want to do, where I want to live, and the list goes on. My leadership classes are making me think through things -- LIFE. Don't get me wrong, they're awesome classes with excellent professors, there's just a lot going through my head.
In my Leadership Development class today Dr. Hemby was talking about how people think busyness equals success and effectiveness, when in actuality all it is, is busyness. That's it. Just because your day planner says you have appointments back to back from 8-4 doesn't mean that you're a successful, accomplished person. All it says is that you have too much on your plate to really sit and breathe. I'm so glad my success is not measured by how many appointments and people I meet with each day because if it was, I would be a crying shame. Life is too short and too precious to fly through it. I've been pondering that idea all day... What am I really investing my time into? It isn't enough to just sit and waste in on the internet or a fleeting magazine. There is more to life -- there are places to go, people to see.
I've been learning so much about myself this semester. I'm growing up and in a way it scares me; in another way I'm excited. God is faithful and I am so far from it... I'm not going to miss it. I will choose to be patient and wait. It's in the waiting that true peace, deep grace, and spiritual fulfillment comes.
My life will not be wasted.
I'm going to sieze the day... I challenge you to do the same.
G'nite.
