3rd Degree Obedience

Im experiencing a season of 3rd degree Obedience. To explain, obeying God doesn't feel good all the time. Sometimes, it hurts as bad as a 3rd degree burn.
Recently, I realized where I was in my life. I'm young, I'm about to go to college, and I'm missing out. Since I have started dating, I've never been without a boyfriend. I have never truly given God my full attention. All I can remember is the struggle to balance God and my Guy. To be honest, I always failed.
I owe so much more to God. And I owe more to my future husband. I want to take a time out. I want to fix some deep things in my life so that I may better honor God and my family. My way of thinking, my morals, my values, my priorities...my way of communication.
I ended my relationship with my boyfriend. The person I cared most about in my life. I have never experienced hurt like this that has come from this decision.
All I want is to be obedient. God is calling me to be more, and I think its time that I follow this call. His blessing is on the one who loves him. I know that he is blessing me even in this tough situation.
What is God asking of you? Are you willing to obey?
When it hurts, I'm here.
