a few years ago I was busy, but with things that were not really full of faith and the future, yes I was working in the church but I was caught up in the system, now I am free of the system and have discovered my real faith and am committed to what God's plan is:) and yes only a few days to go and I will graduate from college, I still cannot believe it; God's plan was to show me the real face of faith and to do that I had to be alone and abandoned by many but not by him or my family and a friend thanks QBF:) and now my commitment is to Him first, and then to myself, because with out him I have nothing and without finding my true self everything else suffers. so re evaluate and do the best thing for your family:) find yourself and give them a great gift, the gift of an educated , faithful woman:)
Choose your commitments
You won't be able to commit to anything if you try to commit to everything. Be willing to say no to the things that are not really important, and you'll be able to say yes, in a big way, to those things that are most meaningful.
A few, carefully selected, quality commitments will bring much more value to your life than a whole calendar full of shallow, relatively meaningless ones. The depth and meaning of life's experiences matter more than the sheer volume of them.
Just because you're busy doesn't necessarily mean you're making real progress. Take some time to consider just where all that activity is taking you.
Life is filled with all sorts of wonderful opportunities for real fulfillment. There's no need to grab at everything that happens to come by.
Every single day is precious and unique. Spend each day moving life forward in a personally meaningful way.
Choose your commitments with care and grace, with love and purpose. Then you can truly know the joy of giving yourself fully to them.

Brilliant! So proud of you V!
I couldn't agree more. This past 2 years has been kind of like a sabatical for me. I have backed out and learned to say "no". I really think God wanted me to step back look at what was important in my spiritual journey. At times I almost felt abandoned by Him, it was very confusing at times and very lonely. I saw people hurt, and I was also hurt. I saw anger and I was also angry, I saw reconcilation amoung others but felt I could not find it for me. I ended up not trusting and not knowing who to believe or trust. but now I am beginning to see love again. I asked God for a sign of where my journey was to go from here. He is not throwing things at me as I felt before, but "slowly" showing me that loving Him is what He wants from me and to show others His love through me. I know I am not always going to do things right, but I am going to try like heck to walk in His path.
