Time Flies

I do not know how it got to this point in the semester. How is my car already covered in pollen, how are my eyes already swelling up, how am I already preparing for finals, and finalizing summer plans? How is it that so many of my friends will be graduating in a few weeks and I do not know when I will see them again? Time baffles me. How does it seem that a place in time is so far away and then it comes and you wonder where all of that time behind you went. I look at these group projects of ours as an example. We had ample time to work on them, to figure out when our schedules would work, yet somehow it is not done. I hate to procrastinate. I get so frustrated when people will not give up a little bit of time because they think they are already too busy. Maybe they are busy, but if they keep being busy then they time they could be doing other things, like spending time with people, building relationships, is lost. I realize that we (esp. at Wake Forest) everyone can use the busy excuse every once in a while, but when we keep backing down on our responsibilities, our relationships, that is when we need to reevaluate.

I pray to God all of the time to help me to prioritize according to his plans for me because honestly that is all that matters in life. He will guide you and lead you where you are supposed to be, sometimes we forget that by trusting God life can be a lot easier. We do not need to worry about the future or the past, but just need to live in the moment and let God guide us. This does not mean that time will not fly by trusting in the Lord, but it will help us to live in the moment.

That way we will not get so caught up in the goal, but will learn to enjoy the ride.

It is when people are driven by their temptations that we go off course from the path that God has laid out for us. It not only affects yourself, but it also affects people in your environment. For instance, if you go off drinking and having fun after bailing on your group for a project saying that you have no time, then you are not only going to be hurting yourself, but also your group. They will probably have to make up for the work that you did not do. You may even end up convincing them that it is alright to put the project off. That leaves the rest of the group cooking for 3 hours in the middle of the night when they learn that this unreliable girl is wrong!

Thus I learn that time flies especially when you do not want it to. I would have loved to go to sleep when I was first in bed at 11:30, starting to write this blog, but now I have a bunch more soup in my fridge and my stomach is very full from sampling everything 3 hours later and I am finally back in bed. I do not even stay up this late on weekends, my group better appreciate this.
