so much to do, but loving every minute

Piles of homework + Krispy Kreme Challenge Saturday + sickness = one busy girl!!! Yes this week has been super stressful and never ending but I would not have traded it for the world. I think God does everything for a reason, and this week is included. All the happenings (both good and bad) have made me open my eyes and SLOW DOWN, even if it is only for just a minute. For example: this morning I was trying to micro manage my day on the way to class so I could get the most stuff done. I do this often, but normally it never goes as planned. Anyway I was caught up in my own little world and when I turned the corner to go up the street to my class I saw a girl sitting on a bench all dressed up. She was waiting on the bus to go to the career fair. It hit me at that moment that there is no reason I should be worrying about all the little stuff. God has a plan for me and just like the girl quietly waiting for her turn in the job cycle, I too will be fine and have my turn to shine. I feel like I am rambling, but I just had to share with you that little piece of info.

I also need to catch you up on my reading!!!! Well Tuesday I read Exodus 15-17 and Proverbs 1, Wed. was Exodus 18-20 and Proverbs 2, and Today I read Exodus 21-24 and Proverbs 3. Exodus is pretty straight forward so far. I am learning about the 10 Commandments and the other laws of God. So that is pretty cool. I am excited though that my reading guide has instructed me to take a break from the book of Psalm and focus my attention on Proverbs. Proverbs focuses more on the concept of wisdom and how to gain and sustain it. So uplifting and I love it!!!! I would recommend them to anybody who is stressed or just feeling astray.

For those who don't mind lifting some things up in prayer:
Please pray for me as I, along with some of my other friends are battling a nasty cold along with all of our school work. We all need strength right now. Also please pray for courage and guidance as I have my first round of tests next week. Also, pray for me and a couple thousand other runners on Saturday during the Krispy Kreme Challenge. Let me shine the Lord's light as I run and interact with people. Finally pray for my family as we enter into a time of preparation for the summer and me being in a different state for two months. It is the longest time I have been away from my parents so far away.

I hope the week has been fantastic and I pray that the weekend goes smoothly and that God smiles down on everybody. Have fun, stay safe, and I pray that every body's journey is blessed!!
