Practicing Sabbath as a College Student

kmw8God, Mental health, Rice

I have been thinking today about the Sabbath, and what it means to keep the Sabbath, especially when deadlines definitely do not stop for Sundays.

This weekend I took time to completely disconnect from my life at Rice, and I felt like that was an absolutely necessary thing to do for myself and my mental health. Even to not be on campus was wonderfully cathartic. I still did work today; I studied and worked on internship things, but I also wasn’t so pressed to get things done. I stopped and rested when I wanted to, I watched a few episodes of Seinfeld, and I read my bible.

I had dinner with my friend Magen, who keeps her own Sabbath by not doing school work on Sundays, and we talked about what it looks like and what it means to keep a Sabbath day while at school. I think this is definitely something I will need to think over and pray about, but I could see this being a really healthy element for my life and for my relationship with God.

    When I look at your blog site in Firefox, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.

    I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, amazing
    blog!

  35. Hey there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers?
    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing several
    weeks of hard work due to no backup. Do you have any methods to stop hackers?

  38. You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but
    I find this matter to be actually something that
    I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and very broad for me.
    I am looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of
    it!

  46. of course like your website however you have to test the spelling on quite a few of your posts.
    Many of them are rife with spelling problems and I find
    it very bothersome to inform the truth on the other hand I’ll certainly come
    again again.
