Distance never changes with God

Over a month ago I moved to Marshall where I’m currently attending East Texas Baptist University (ETBU.) As with any college or student or human being- life gets chaotic and tough at times. My life, in my eyes, seems to be pretty busy just about all the time, especially since I’ve moved. Moving into a dorm was a transition for me that I had never had before. I’ve never even moved. I have always lived in Pittsburg with my family, until now, where I live with three other girls in a four bedroom dorm. It’s different from what I’m used to, but it is something I really enjoy. At chapel, during the first week of school, I met a college minister from a local church in Marshall. I’ve always loved being involved with ministry at my home church; so naturally I asked the college minister if
they needed any help with any-thing at the church in Marshall. Little did I know later that day, I would become a college intern at that church helping out with the youth. It’s truly amazing how Father God works and administrates things. Being a college intern for a local church, a college student taking 15 hours, and maintaining a social life tends to keep me busy. Honestly, at times it can feel overwhelming even when in reality it isn’t. It’s just because I get “too busy” to pursue Father God as much as I should so my focus isn’t where it should be all the time. Sure, I pursue God but it’s not always as much as I should. If I’m being honest, it sometimes it’s just when it’s convenient for me. Perhaps you’ve done that before. To me, it’s messed up to do this to our God. We do it anyways though and it’s so easy to just pursue Him. As Christians we’ve got to make a point to pursue Father God every day- that means even when we’re busy we’re supposed to pursue Him. I know it’s hard, however I know that it is always worth it.
