It’s been a while LOL. Since I had my Spring Break pt. 2, I haven’t been sleeping/waking up early which means I haven’t been making time for devotionals or even any alone time for myself. My mind has been very busy lately, thinking about applying for long-term substitute jobs for the fall and looking for full-time teaching positions for the spring, finishing up final papers/projects, studying for finals, and still trying to make time to love on my friends and family. It’s safe to say I have been prioritizing all wrong.

Why is it so easy to prioritize my comfort and my happiness over living my life devoted to God? ..Especially when I know a glimpse of the magnitude of His steadfast love for me? How can He love such a disobedient and sinful servant as me?

“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
    his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
    great is your faithfulness.”

Lamentations 3:22-23

Thank you, Father for your mercies over me. Thank you for calling me back to You when I forget the purpose of the path that I’m walking. Thank you for your steadfast love even when I’m hiding in shame for living such a selfish life. Thank you, that even in my darkest moments of loneliness, for reminding me that You are near. Thank you for speaking truth into me through the people You have so purposefully placed into my life. I love You. Amen.
