I've also been working a bit, which is exciting and fun. Currently, I'm also at a job site for my dad - it's day two of excavation and they're delivering sand today.
The thing I struggle with the most when school rolls around is stress. If you know me, you know I stress out very easily. I don't like ongoing things. I like being able to cross things off my list, so when I have multiple ongoing things, I write billions and billions of lists. And honestly, I don't know if that's helpful or more overwhelming.
All that to say that I think that's definitely something I have to work on - my perspective on things. As I was getting ready this morning, I was starting to get overwhelmed with my upcoming weeks and I just sat on my bed and opened up my devo book and it was on Ecclesiastes 3:1-8. More specifically on how there is a time to love and a time to hate. As I read the passage, it reminded me of two things, 1. There is a perfect time for everything , which led me to the conclusion that worrying gets you nowhere. 2. The passage talks about things like love, hate, mourning, weeping, crying, war, peace, etc. - it just reminded me that in the big scheme of things, school is just school. Life is still beautiful and I am blessed. That is why I included a picture of the sky and the clouds. Sometimes, or often, I get so caught up in my routine and stuff I have to do that I let it overwhelm me. I just have to sit and take a breath and remind myself that it's just life - and like the sky, sometimes it's grey or cloudy, but somewhere underneath all that, the sun is still shining and life is still beautiful.
Hope you all have a good day,
Joanne
