Every step of the way

God has really been showing me that it is awesome to be seeking him all the time, every step of the way. I have some time in the afternoons these days when I don't really have any planned activities, which is pretty sweet, and I have really been starting to feel like God has given me that time for a purpose, to walk around and see people I know and encourage each other and meet new people and such. So that is what I have been doing. For example, yesterday after class I was spending some time with God at a picnic table and a guy came up and sat down to wait for a friend. I introduced myself and his name is Marv and we talked a little...he goes to a church in the area and we talked about that a little and it was a pretty cool little conversation. After spending a little more time with God, I felt it was time to walk home, so I was walking and met up with Kassie coming the opposite way, so I walked with her to Anspach where she had class. It was cool to talk a little. Then on the way back I met up with a girl named Ana who I had met the day before at the His House Welcome Back BBQ. I walked back with her to Barnes and it was cool to talk to her a little and then I finally went home and stuff, but that was just one of the little excursions with God I have had in the past couple days and I really like it. God is pretty awesome.
One thing to go along with this is that I feel like there is a lot of stuff in my life that needs to be fixed or gotten rid of or things I need to do like homework and research and such but God is showing me that if I am focused on what he wants me to do all the time, then I will always be doing what needs to be done. He knows what needs to be done better than I do and he can manage my time much better than I can.
Speaking of knowing what needs to be done better than I do, I was thinking about getting an audit just to make sure I will be able to graduate when I want to but had kinda forgotten about it until one of my God excursions led me to talk to Krishelle and somehow it came up in our convo. So, I went to the office to sign up for an audit and after setting up a time, asked if there were different types of audit, for instance, one that i would need before graduation, and the lady asked me when do you plan on graduating? I told her in May, and she asked if I had applied for graduation, and after replying no she told me that I needed to do that before Sept 15, so I did. Anyway, it was a good thing God led me there, because otherwise I might not have applied by the deadline and might not be able to graduate.
So, in conclusion, it is pretty sweet to follow God around all day and I would suggest it for everybody. I am not perfect at it, but thank God that he is patient and is teaching me and reminding me and awesome and stuff.
