This semester is almost over! CRAZY! I have 2 school days left and then finals! I only have 2 finals I have to take, which is fabulous. Only one of the 2 finals I have is cumulative so I don't really think this week will be stressful studying at all.
Well a lot has happened over the past couple of months. I've been through a lot, grown a lot, and learned a lot. I've lost some close to me because of death and others just because of broken relationships that have ended. But with the ending of some relationships, I have found the beginning of others. Others that I know will last.
I've learned to appreciate the little things in life... like not having to wear flip flops in the showers at home like I have to in the dorms. Or like walking a short distance to the refrigerator when I want something to eat/drink at home verses walking downstairs into the market to wait in line and PAY for a drink or snack. Or having to save up quarters to do laundry instead of just putting my clothes in the laundry basket for my mom to so kindly wash for me. There are SO many things I have come to realize that I have SO easy at home, that I have just taken advantage of for so long.
I've learned that a Daddy is the only man a girl can really trust (in this point in my life anyway) and that when there seems like there is no hope anywhere in reach, God is just around the corner. I've learned that sometimes what I WANT isn't necessarily what I NEED. I've learned to be completely content with where God has me right now. I've learned that there are people who care and will always be there, no matter what, and those are the friends to hold on to.
I've learned that there will be days when I just want to lay in bed all day and cry, but if I just get up and move forward, God will make it worth while. And I know there will be days where I don't feel like anything was worth my while, but that doesn't change the fact that I have a God looking out for me, who loves me, who wants me to run to Him so He can hold my hand and lead me through whatever troubles face me...and sometimes doing that is the hardest thing, but it just comes down to trust. And faith. That's what it's all about.
Hebrews 11 has really gotten me through a lot. It's all about faith and that's what I've relied on. I don't understand everything that happens, but I still have faith that God loves me, He has a plan, and He will never leave me.
I am writing this as I sit in Barnes & Noble with some friends...we came here to study, yet I always somehow seem to get distracted, so instead I updated my blog
:)
That's all for now.
