I have so much going on in life that I feel like there is no time to further my relationship with God, and to further myself as a person. I have homework, drum line, play practice, family, Clarinet! I wouldn't give any of it up (well homework is an exception) but it is just so much! My heart feels heavy, like each thing that I have to do is another peice of junk that is collecting at the bottom of my heart.
Today (yes today) We had the most amazing theology class. I love, love, love our teacher Mrs. Wertin, (she reminds me a lot of someone I really love and who is an influential awesome person in my life) . We were going through Abraham story, which seems like something not so moving. But what faith! Oh my goodness, Abraham was 100 years old, and God told him he would have a son! And to sacrifice that son, that he had waited so long for! She challenged us to look at ourselves and to ask ourselves, would we do that? We all want to say we would, but I know I'm not there yet. I love how when she teaches she compares the story to us, to herself, to the world. She makes everything make perfect sense.
