It's back to school time! I personally really enjoy this time of year. The weather is so nice. You can wear jeans and sweaters, or shorts and t-shirts or any combination thereof. Plus, we get to settle down into a wonderful routine of class, study, eat, drink hot cups of coffee or cocoa and study some more....
Oh...am I the only one who enjoys that? Well, it is the time of year to go apple picking and leaf jumping. Is that what non-nerdy people do?
As I was thinking about my schedule for these next few months, I realized that I could easily get carried away doing my own thing and not necessarily being Christ-focused. Most of what I am doing this fall will be things that I certainly feel are what God has for me to do right now, which is great. However, I need to keep in mind that what I am doing is for God and His glory, not for anything else. Even when I do something well, it is because of God's blessing not anything of me. This is something I need to think of as I am making decisions or simply living out daily life. I don't know about you, but this is sometimes hard for me. It is hard for me to think that doing the dishes can glorify God. Or nailing a new song on the cello is because of a talent that God gave me. That is a new mindset for me, and, to be honest, one that I have a hard time applying to the "little" or boring areas of life.
I hope that you all have a blessed start to school, or whatever fall is bringing to you, and enjoy this lovely weather!
