Busy ≥ Good

I have been SOOOO busy, but I feel as though I am getting nothing done. It is really frustrating. I worked most of the weekend and had been unable to finish a RA project that was due today, so I enlisted the help of a few girls on my floor and we had a grand ol’ time. But I have not yet finished my homework for tomorrow and I need sleep. Did I mention that it’s 12:27 AM? Please pray for me. I am worried that I have taken on more than I can handle. I want to do a good job at all that I do. I am not sure if I am frustrated because I want myself to do a better job than is even expected of me, or if I am just frustrated because I am doing a lousy job. These are things that I have been thinking about.

Consider your parents: our lives. Are we busy? Do we have time to finish every project we think about? And do all these well? NO!

So in someways your college life is not much different from what you may be doing for the rest of your life, if you have an other interests besides just going to work and then going to bed and repeating the cycle. I have Bible study tonight. How many Tuesday do I start Bible study knowning that I have thoroughly studied? Lately, none.

Thursday I am leaving for the Common Ground Fair with a good sized inventory, but it will not be as well rounded as I had hoped.

We have this wedding project, already I can tell you that some of the things we had wanted to fix up will not get done.

Etc.

I think that are two things to watch out for. You menioned one - try not to over commit yourself.
The other, forgetting that we live in a fallen world where things go wrong, failure is a part of our daily life. (Not to give us an excuse for more failure!) And with this frame of mind we will try to do some things well, for the glory of God, and others we will do the best we can, and others will get little attention. May God give us wisdom to prioritize.

Welcome to an active adult world.

May the Lord bless and keep you.

love, Dad
