Commitment

So i've taken a break. Quite a long break, but hey i'm in college and things get busy! Anyhow, I'm back! And like at the beginning of any semester I am ready to renew some commitments. Most of us have goals that we strive for to help us make our lives more meaningful, or just to get done all the things we "want" or feel we somehow must do. I have a few goals of my own as well.

* Do a personal devotion every day
* Read for fun everyday
* Write more (blogs or journal)
* Keep in touch with people
* Pray

These are specific things I want to commit to (perhaps again) that i've fallen short on. Even if no one cares, I know it helps me to write them down and I encourage you to do the same. Although I may only be 20, I do have some experience which I always try to share, mostly however I simply share my questions, thoughts, and doubts about anything that comes into my head.

Yesterday at our lunch we discussed Spiritual Growth. It is important for all of us to grow, physically, mentally, and spiritually. But how? Well exercise and a healthy diet, studying and going to school, and spending time with God. For all of us these are different, but it is important that we find our own ways that we grow spiritually. There will be periods of no growth, and short times of extreme growth, but not without the effort. I encourage you to find what helps you grow, commit to it, and find a partner or friend to keep you accountable.

Always there for you is God. I only try my best.
