Focus

This week in class we started our book reading assignment. I am reading the book Beloved by Toni Morrison. Tuesday, in the library was the start of my literary adventure. I don’t read books often so I was really excited. The sad part is, I was supposed to read this book in high school, and I never did. I only heard brief discussion about the book and it intrigued me. So here I am, two years later, about to read a book that I was suppose to read years ago. But as I was sitting in the library, I couldn’t seem to focus.

I can’t put my finger on it really. I don’t understand why it’s so hard for me to focus on certain books and readings. I am not illiterate. I can handle book without pictures, but I can’t seem to really delve in this book.

In high school, I was an extremely busy student. Currently, in college, it seems that my education is something I do on the side. Not that I am not working hard or making good grades, because I am. But I have never been busier in my life. I work with two churches, one in Lakeland during the week, another church, in Ocoee, I youth pastor on Saturday’s. I love doing it, it’s my passion. I want nothing more than to help people understand all that Christ is and what he is about. But beyond ministry, I have rehearsal every school night because I am involved with two productions this fall in Southeastern’s theatre department. Theatre is also one of my passions and I plan on pursuing both.

But if I plan on pursuing my passions and dreams, I am going to have to love the Lord with my mind and make sure whatever I do is the best. Tuesday was the first day of Fire Fall at Southeastern’ campus, the speaker really spoke to me, thus my mind was in another place. But now I’ve actually had the proper time to soak everything in and I am ready for action.

This blog is probably one of the most unfocused blogs I’ve written, ironic right? I just felt I should share my heart and thoughts.
