With 35 minutes left in her day the weary college student sat down on her bed, picked up her black laptop, and set it in her lap. With the sounds of her sister's cat cleaning herself next to her she thought, "I just want to snap my fingers and be done packing." In a matter of hours both her and her mother would be on a plane to move her to a land far away. A land where she would learn the ins and outs of "college life" and her major. During this time of wishing to be done the student realized that with 35 minutes left she hadn't give God much time out of her busy day. This was a time to stop and DTR with God. She pulled up a electronic bible and proceeded to Romans chapter 4 and then realized she had read that chapter and proceeded to chapter 5. Her concentration lingered as she couldn't sit though the whole chapter. Facebook, a blog, and her email all lead her astray. Through this the young woman with two bobby pins holding her long brown hair out of her face realized that she is not a fan of God. "Why is it so hard to focus on one thing while there are so many others to do" she thought. You see the young woman realized her focus needs to be whole on her Father above and not of things of this world. She struggles with giving God her 100% 24/7. But the awesome thing she realized is that the struggle she finds gives her a reason to put her hope and trust in the Lord and that gives her a reason to serve her mighty God.
Romans 5:20&21
The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
