life in general

Dear lovely readers and wonderful friends, I think this week I might be going slightly crazy. I've gone to bed before 11 o'clock three nights in a row. I dropped my English class, the one I have been looking forward to, this afternoon. I'm currently signed up for a piano audition with a rather intimidating instructor. I don't particularly like my planner, because the margins are too narrow. I completely reorganized my room, and my brain. I bought a mini fridge, and it has revolutionized my dorm experience. I have lost a vital receipt that allows me to return a book I don't want. I have not drank any Dr. Pepper in approximately 12 days. My communications teacher has a very screechy yell. I think a guy in my speech class might like me. By a strange twist, I actually enjoy my biology class, but only because I absolutely love the professor. I fell asleep in class for the first time in college on Monday night. I haven't seen my roommate all day. I might try to fit in a practicum on top of my 18 credit hours. I still don't have the new bus schedule figured out. I want to eat healthier. Tonight I had Chic Fil A.

Even though this first week back at college has been very close to being insane, I carry this verse in my heart:

As for me, I will always have hope;
I will praise You more and more.
Psalm 71:14


That's my prayer for you right now as you're in the midst of a storm, whether it be busyness or the harshness of life pounding against your chest. Step back, breathe, and know that God gives us immeasurable, enduring, unfailing hope.
