from/the

heart

At the beginning of the semester, we

feel ready to meet new situations and

challenges with enthusiasm and energy,

but by midterm, we tend to lose some

of our excitement. Organizations pro­

vide outlets for the pressures of school

and help us to step away from every­

day demands and focus on building

friends, cultivating talents, and serving

the community. Greeks give us a break

from our structured schedules to enjoy

time singing, learning about God's

Word, and sharing fellowship. Basi­

cally, organizations provide “breathers”

from our regular responsibilities and

often challenge us to take our focus off

ourselves and minister to others.

Colossians 3:23-24 states, “And what­

soever ye do, do it heartily, as to the

Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that

of the Lord ye shall receive the reward

of the inheritance: for ye serve the

Lord.” By refreshing our routine, or­

ganizations help remind us to do even

the little everyday things with heart.
