There Is Some Good To This

As many of you already know, coming home for the summer wasn't exactly the greatest of things. I was worried because I was no longer in the "Huntington bubble", where I was basically protected from the world. I come out of that and into a home where the lifestyle is not that of Christ. There is one thing that I notice everytime that I come home, though. First off, it takes me a while to adjust to being home. At first, I am kind of depressed and pretty much angry at the fact that I am here, but then I slowly adjust and realize that this is my life. The thing that I notice is that my relationship with Christ becomes closer and close as I am home. I may have talked about this before, but when I am here, I realize that things are harder, and I cling to God more. When I am at school, I get caught up in everything and kind of neglect our relationship. In the past week, I have written more letters to God and spent more time in the bible than I did probably the entire last semester. By the way, I am not counting classwork that involved the bible in this. That is a requirement, not something I did for my relationship with Christ. I have also learned that me just praying doesn't really do much for me, because in the middle of praying, I get sidetracked and completely forget that I was even praying. So I have learned that I need to write my prayers down and that is a way that I can concentrate. Who knew that I would be learning stuff even when school is out??
