It is a time to serve, to pray, to study, and to reflect. It is a time to grow in my relationship with God and an opportunity to follow Jesus, not my own wishes and desires. God is my guide. He continually blesses me. He upholds me in sorrow. He quenches my thirst for knowledge and fills my days with challenges. As I journey through life, God is always with me.
