Am I Drifting?

I wondered that these past couple of days. I had a hard time focusing in church yesterday. I was feeling really stressed and so behind on internal and external obligations. I felt I have been slacking on my church duties, as well as my school work. I haven't felt much of a desire to make new friends. I wondered if I was drifting from God. I wondered if I was becoming more hardened against His influence because I keep focusing on other needs or wants that aren't as important.

I was reminded today that I am never out of God's reach or influence, as long as I have even a sliver of a desire to come unto Him for love, support, and guidance. My home teachers visited me in my apartment and taught me a short spiritual lesson. It was really more of a discussion, and it was very encouraging and uplifting. I felt God's love for me and for those around me. I felt closer to God, and felt that, overall, I was doing well. I felt peace, and at peace.

I am grateful that I am drifting towards God, not away from Him. I think drifting is a good word for this because when you're making that lifetime pursuit to be better, to be God-like, you never notice the progress you make from day to day. It is slow going, but it is going. :)
