How I reground myself on the daily as a full time student with a full time job.

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze”

Isaiah 43:2

I was raised Catholic and grew up going to mass every Sunday with my family. We would pray the rosary as a family and celebrate certain feast days and so much more. It was not until I got older and went through my own personal things that I really felt God move my life. When I was going through life changes or other things I encounter daily, the one thing that brought me peace was prayer and adoration. Adoration is when we connect with and worship Jesus through the Eucharist. It is the closest we get to Jesus as Catholics. Think of it as quiet reflection time, with the King of Kings. Ever since I started going to adoration on a daily basis, I have felt a shift in my life for the better. I truly feel a daily sense of healing. Whether I am having a good or bad day, every time I leave adoration I feel peace that even words can’t describe.

HowI balance My Relationship With God As A Full Time Student With A Full Time Job

Life is chaotic in so many ways, especially as a full time student with a full time job. It gets very busy very easily. I try my best to balance all my classes along with working and completing many other tasks day to day. I do like to keep it very realistic though, so I don’t get too overwhelmed. I like to start my day with a few minutes of just thanking God for a new day and asking him to guide me through it. Throughout the day, I’ll say little prayers here and there in between assignments or on my break at work, I love reading my bible. I also love praying the rosary on my car rides to school. I try my best to make it to adoration every night. It is the most peaceful way to end my days. Life definitely still gets overwhelming, but knowing that I have God to give me peace through it all, good and bad, is what keeps me going.
