This last week of school before finals was insane. The whole week starting Saturday I stayed up until 4 or 5am doing homework and studying. Normally, I tend to be a really unmotivated person, and I shut down when I get unhappy, but because of experiences going on around me I'd been forced to crack open my Bible for the first time in I can't tell you how long, and pray with complete reliance on God. My attention toward God was completely unrelated to school, but it was incredible to see that the more time I spent in communion with God, the more his characteristics rubbing off on me leaked into all other aspects of my life. This whole week of no sleep and constant business I felt a strength and motivation that was beyond me and it caused me to continue and be positive even when coffee was not enough to wake up my body and every inch of me was ready to collapse. If we can pray without ceasing and keep our focus on God, keep that communion with him constant, we will have successfully clung to the vine and he will produce good fruit in every area of our lives.
