Well.....it's been FOREVER since my last post! That of course, means life has been crazy busy! But I'm FINALLY home for Christmas break and so so so thankful to be able to stop, sit down, and just breathe.... It really is so nice! This has been one crazy semester! A good one, but a crazy one. I've been through a lot, struggled a lot, messed up a lot, learned a lot, and grown a lot. And I am so thankful for it all. Every day hasn't been easy; in fact, a lot of days have been really hard.
But God has brought me through each and every situation and taught me so much!
As I reflect back on this semester I know the whole thing was a whirlwind. I felt like I was strapped to a highspeed train and couldn't get off. I've disappointed people, made bad grades on tests, stayed up to late, studied too little, played too hard, spent too much money, and everything else that a college student can easily make mistakes on--but I've learned from it all! Part of why I've been so ready to be home is because I am just so worn out from all the stresses of school and relationships. And all semester I wished it all away! I wanted the stress and struggles out of my life! I didn't want to deal with them. But looking back on it I know God has been teaching me through it and drawing me closer to him. He has taken friendships out of my life, changed some of them, and blessed me with new ones. And the best part of it is that it's all part of HIS plan and not MINE! He knows what's best for my life and He has taken care of me. I've spent this semester trying to "just get by" and trying even harder to please everyone.......and I have failed. I can't always make everyone happy. And that's a big thing He has taught me! On my own I am completely helpless and thankfully, when I try to do it on my own He is right there to pick me up when I fall and remind me that He is there with open arms to carry me through the hard times. My God is so good and I couldn't be more thankful that He loves me and takes care of me even when I neglect to thank Him or even ask Him for help in the first place!! What a great Savior I serve!!
