Nearing the end... whats goin on

Well, the semester is ever growing to a close... As every time, it seems to have gone so fast. It's kinda crazy, looking out across the tables of the coffee shop at the faces that will soon be gone for good... Every time this seems so different... First semester I could barely take the goodbyes, I was wrecked for so long... Second semester, I suppose I had become more used to it, and I understood that it didn't always have to be the end. Now this semester's end draws nigh, and my emotion is, well something else... Sure there is the sadness, knowing that there is no one else to get away with anything on the excuse of 'I'm Calvin White!' There won't be the faces of so many of the 2 semesters I've come to know as they head away to extensions, nor the thirds that are heading out to Colorado, san Francisco and Italy.

So as everything is ending, I’m left considering that which I have learned, or have I really? There have been so many different things that I feel that God has been trying to show me this semester… The problem is, I am weak, I fail. The first among these things was that I need to learn to fall in love with my God. Jon Done said in Hebrews class that, “When you are passionately in love with someone, you cannot go two minutes into a conversation with an individual without that person coming up.” I was so convicted… How long does it take us to talk about the one who we claim as our father, our best friend and our Lord when we are in conversation? It doesn’t mean we are some socially retarded fanatic, but we need to decide what this faith which is supposed to and has every reason to be the most important thing in our lives is really worth. Someone once said that, “Until you find something worth dying for, you aren’t really living.” So the question that I poise to you is this… Do you…do I… Live our lives for God as if He is worth dying for? I could go my whole life without hearing another person tell me that they would die for their faith. Because if you won’t live for it then your death won’t mean a thing anyway… Just ponder it, we all need to spend time meditating on what we really live our lives like…
