Finding Time for Myself

Do you ever feel like you are never alone? If you are a college student then the answer is most certainly yes!!! We live in a room the size of a shoe box with another person whom we have to constantly share space with. If we walk outside our rooms, there are people in the common area, people in the bathroom, people outside, so basically we are surrounded by people.

Today, for the first time in awhile, I took some time to be alone. This was actually rather difficult for me because I am a very social person and take comfort in the presence of others. After going to the gym, the weather was so gorgeous outside I decided to take a walk along some of the emptier sidewalks of campus. I used this time to thank God for little delights in life like wonderful weather. I even sat on a bench and said a few prayers. I was so happy that on this hectic Friday I could find some time to be alone with the Lord.

"Happy moments, praise God.
Difficult moments, seek God.
Quiet moments, worship God.
Painful moments, trust God.
Every moment, thank God."
