1985 Miracle Yearbook

C oming back to face my sophomore year, I have been especially chal- lenged in the area of responsibilities. Now that I have been here a year, I know iris rime to gear up for the challenges of the real world. It was an adult level relationship ro my Lord Jesus that prompted me to become more involved wirh Christian services such as Swordbearers extension ream, Antioch Campus Evangelism, and the spring break ream to Utah. I needed to prepare my heart for these ministries. I desired to strengthen my spiritual health by spending time in prayer alone and with friends, by reading His word, and by reading the works of Tozer and Murray. Also my responsibility to be an exhorter —one who focuses on others' needs — has caused me to be "put on the rocks." I struggle with priorities between my edu- cational goals, like an acceptable G.P.A., and reaching our to others when I should be studying. It seems hard to keep afloat when I feel as if I am in a whirlpool of needy people that I honestly cannot help. I strive to go that extra step for those in need, but sometimes it seems I hove ex- pended all my energy, yet the need is nor met successfully. Extra-curricular activities help to balance put my list of responsibilities, but they also drain away my time. I wrestle with olor- ring my time most effectively. I'm always thinking of the next meeting that I need to attend; "Do I have all my notes and realizing that quality time with friends is extremely sparse because of an over- packed day of hustling from class, to meetings, to work, to homework, and more the same the next day. The bright spot is that as I deal with each situation, I see my friends rallying on my behalf encouraging me to rake and meet that challenging responsibility head on. There's absolutely nothing that my God, my freinds, and I can't tackle.
