Even youths will become weak and tired, and
young men will fall in exhaustion. But those who
trust in the Lord will find new strength...
Isaiah 40:30-31 NLT
It has become clear to me that my body needs a recharge...

As of yesterday, I finished my last college class, "The Psychology of Stress." While my last sociology class was this past Tuesday. I turned in my final papers. I said goodbye to my professors, who were excellent teachers by the way, and now I'm done. However, I don't believe I will return next semester. Although I'm close to getting my bachelor’s degree, the work of the Lord needs to take precedence, and so does my health.
So I have to allow for a period of recuperation. As I mentioned in my previous entry, I underwent a season of challenging situations. I don't want to go into the details. But this year has been a difficult one. The devil came upon me with a level of fury that seemed surreal. He was relentless, and the warfare has taken a toll on me. Yet, thanks to the Lord, I believe my faith is stronger than ever.
For now, it's a matter of managing my time better. I need to spend more of it alone with my heavenly Father, which is just what His Son did. Jesus often retreated by Himself to pray. And if He needed to do this, how much more do I? So with this in mind, I will seek my Father's face while He imparts fresh strength into me. I will likewise continue to wait in His presence.
As King David advised in one of his psalms, "Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord" (Psalm 27:14 KJV).
