| I won $25.00!!! Yes, won
Most people would take some time to debate how to spend that
money....my mom sent me two bills...I think that my answer is solved
already...

| Find rest, O my soul, in God alone;
my hope comes from him. Rest...such an interesting word that I feel like I always hope for more than I actually am able to do. But even in the craziness, busy life, one must rest and especially when one is so busy you must rest so that you can be effective and alert. It also just feels good to be able to not struggle to stay awake as well as having an overwhelming load. So I'm thinking about that with myself. I can choose to feel overwhelmed with all I have to get done in the next three weeks, or I can turn that overwhelmingness over to God, find rest in Him, find joy in Him and His Word, and allow peace to settle in my heart that everything will get done as it needs to in its own time. Trust in him at all times, O people;
pour out your hearts to him,
for God is our refuge. Psalm 62:5, 8 | | |
| I SURVIVED! Once again, the Lord is so faithful. I made it
through and overall the results have been favorable from all of my
quizzes and tests. I'm trying not to be angry with myself and
telling myself I could have studied more or done more to prepare
better. Let's face it...with three exams and two quizzes all in
psych in a few days, it is hard to have that much material and do well
in all subjects.
Random thought process running through my head....Why do we time after
time not think about staying up late or getting up early if we are
doing schoolwork, yet we struggle so much or the thought doesn't even
cross our minds at doing the same thing with God? Or at least I
do that. I can't help but relate it to my Behavior Modification
class that we get reinforced for our schoolwork continually and that
the repetition of behavior also makes it learned, while sweet and
precious time doesn't always produce the results that we are so used to
finding in the world. And I think on some conscious or
unconscious level....homework/ school stuff has deadlines where time
with God can always be an hour later or better yet...all the time,
making that deadline never really come. Alright....back to trying
to catch up with the rest of my life that I've been missing for a few
days

| Do you ever get to that point where you've been told to simplify, simplify, simplify, and for once you really are trying hard to do that? I feel like I've really cut back and left it down to the basics, Navigator commitments, homework, school, and work...that's pretty much it. I've been wanting to hang out with friends, write notes, or just spend more time with my bible study gals whom I love so much, yet instead I've been trying real hard to take more time for myself, do homework more intentially, and maybe sleep. Yet, I've gotten about as much sleep if not less than normal still. This week has started off better. But the main kicker that has gotten me is this. I'm in 5 psych classes (4-300 level and 1-400 level) and I knew that I have a test next Mon for Cognitive Psych and I knew I had a test next Tuesday for History and Systems of Psych and we always have a quiz in Introduction to Behavior Modification, but then when your teacher for Abnormal Psych decides to give you a quiz next Tuesday and your Positive Psych teacher decides to give his first exam next Tuesday and you have two research projects that you are trying to spend time doing, one week to start and finish a 6-10 page paper and you are going home this weekend to see the family and spending good quality, although probably not relaxing time with the, it is really hard to be honestly prepared for the 3 tests and 2 quizzes you have in 36 hours. Okay, so that's on my mind. If it makes a difference, I got one test moved to Wed at 10am so officially I have 49 hours now to take 3 tests and 2 quizzes. Yikes! Off to class and then bible study. I'm excited for tonight! Woot! Woot! | | |
| Do you ever have those lyrics that play over and over and over in your head? Chris Tomlin - Made To Worship
From the album See the Morning Before the day
Before the light
Before the world revolved around the sun
God on high
Stepped down into time
And wrote the story of His love for everyone
He has filled our hearts with wonder
So that we always remember
Chorus:
You and I are made to worship
You and I are called to love
You and I are forgiven and free
You and I embrace surrender
You and I choose to believe
You and I will see who we were meant to be
All we are
And all we have
Is all a gift from God that we receive
Brought to life
We open up our eyes
To see the majesty and glory of the King
He has filled our hearts with wonder
So that we always remember
Chorus:
Even the rocks cry out
Even the Heavens shout
All the sound of His holy name
So let every voice sing out
Let every knee bow down
He’s worthy of all our praise
