fall break.



fall break came on the heels of midterm week and one very sleep deprived college student. i went to my sister and brother-in-law's house in VA. it was a restful and relaxing weekend, filled with good food, pumpkins, and family time. i dont think i have ever appreciated a school break, before coming to college. it is much needed, or i would have gone crazy!
midterms were difficult, although not as difficult as i expected. i am very thankful that God sustained me through them, especially those i could not thoroughly think through. i am happy with all my grades, although i know i could have done better on one. i just am praying for clear thinking, especially during finals.
i would appreciate all your prayers for my future, next semester. i am trying very hard to rest in God's faithfulness. i am finding it is not easy. but i trust that whatever happens, it will be his will for my life. :)

so thankful.

In the midst of trials and anxiety, i am so thankful. God has done great things in my life!
  • He has allowed me to be at a school that i love with all my heart
  • He has relieved the pain of headaches during the day
  • He has given me willpower to not only get off medication, but take this diet seriously. Even when i dont think i can do it, He gives me strength.
  • He has given me family that loves me and new friends :)
  • Every breath is a gift, and i am so thankful.
"You have turned mourning into dancing...to the end may my heart sing praise to you." (Psalm 30)
