"Betterness"

Yes, I am done with this semester, yes I am thoroughly happy about this. Yes, I do have much preparing to do before next semester's monstrous nineteen credit hours I'm trying to conquer. But I'm not whining about that, I'm ok with that load because of the fact that it is another step closer to my goal: graduation.

As excited as I am about this semester ending, I really don't want to write a blog about that. I want to write about the fact that I really want to bring "betterness" from this break. I'm not trying to say that I want to go into this break licking my wounds and hiding in the Bible, I really want to rejoice in the name of Christ this Christmas break. I really want to focus most of my time and energy into being with Him. Not staying up till 4am and waking up at 3pm the next day I'm talking real intimacy this time around.

I want to wake up early and find myself captivated by His word and will. I want to walk and talk with Him, I want to sit at His table and talk for a while. I want to stretch my faith and my comfort zone, I want to be used as a blessing instead of stifling myself and becoming a burden.

I want to feel His Love

I want to see His Beauty

I want Him to Consume me like a fire!

I want to go into next semester with a vigor, a lasting one at that. Actually let's phrase this the way it should be taken:

I need to feel His Love

I need to see His Beauty

I need Him to Consume me like a fire!

We focus on the celebration of Jesus' birth now, and I hope that the faith I have can grow through this celebration.

All to God
