Senioritis... what?
At the beginning of the year I had senioritis. I pined for college, camp, and friends in general. After a few weeks of drawn out school days of wishing the time away and late nights mentally decorating my dorm room, I came to a realization. Something that I thought was so normal was getting in the way of me following God. Not only was I wish away precious time that I could be spending in the word, but I was wishing away time that I could be spending talking to the kids at my school about Jesus. I've heard from many speakers that they look back on high school and wish they would have reached out more to those around them. While praying for my classes this year, I had felt God calling me to get out of my comfort zone, and while at first it was... uncomfortable not being in choir with the people I had grown to call my friends, it was alright. I've grown to love it. To love who God is shaping me to be. I know that everyone expects you to have senioritis, but once I started actually pursuing opportunities God gives me throughout the day to talk about Jesus, church, or anything God related or even to just show kids God's love. It's been amazing seeing what God is doing in my school this semester. Instead of saying "Oh man, I have another semester left in this dump?" I think "Yes, God has given me another semester to love on those around me" and that is what I intend to do. So while many seniors will be wishing their time away, I will be eagerly awaiting the start of each day and what God has instore for it. Praise the Lord.
