So, It's a balancing act, right?

Sorry for being away for a while. I had to enjoy some of the break that I had. But, now school is back up again. I'm ready for the new semester, and I have a ton of things that I want to talk on here.

Today, is something that's been on my mind since school started. And school started Wednesday, and I'm already thinking of this. That's crazy.

So, everyone always says that life is a balancing act. You have to balance work, school, kids, homework, fun time, church, scripture studies, taking care of yourself, taking care of loved ones, facebook...uh what? Never mind, Facebook isn't one. Lol. But, anyway, that's a lot of stuff? Right? How are we supposed to do that? 

So, think about yourself. What do you have on your plate right now? 

"Okay, I have 18 credit hours of classes, 2 jobs, a boyfriend, chores, 2 cats and a dog, I have to keep my room clean, I NEED to sleep, Church, daily scripture reading, should I shower?, what about eating?, Maybe 5 minutes of fun time?"

...yeah. thought so. So, there's 24 hours in a day, and 2014 is not a leap year, so. Let's break it down. Let's say it's a Monday.

Sleep for 8 hours. 

Say all the meals I eat in a day, take about.... 2 hours. 

Getting ready takes me an hour and a half.

Then I have class, which takes up about 3.3 hours. 

Then, I should probably study what I learned and do homework

(average it says you should study 2 times the time you're in class) so 6 hours.

So as of right now, we have 3.2 hours left of the day. 

What are you going to do with your 3.2 hours?

Should I study less? Should I take less classes? Maybe I don't need to eat. I'll just eat really quickly. 

Take a look at Matthew 6:33 says:

"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."

So, by putting Heavenly Father first in my life, everything else will just perfectly fall into place. That is so comforting. 'Cause my plate is huge right now, but He's going to be there to help me through it all! And not just be there for you, He's going to be there for everyone!

Also, Matthew 10:39 says:
"He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it."

How powerful is that? If we live our lives for Heavenly Father, we will find our lives. But if we live for our lives alone, we will lose it. It's like if we live our lives for God, he will bless us with opportunities to find our life. To find why we were put on this earth, how we can make a difference in the world. 

So put God first.
