If Only I Didn't Care

I'm sitting in the computer lab, waiting for my final class of the semester to start, when I find myself completely and utterly overwhelmed. I see the future and it seems so far away, all I can think about it my next week, my next week of stress, little sleep and unassurance of my success. All I want to do is be done with school and doing what my heart yearns for, to be working in youth ministry molding the minds of our future generation. Yet I cannot get there without the tools and knowledge in how to do that effectively. It seems like a cycle that there is no way out of. I was sitting in my last class praying that God would somehow show me the fast track and yet still receive the knowledge I would get through a degree. I'm not sure how I will make it through this. Maybe it's because I'm overwhelmed, maybe it's me being lazy and not wanting to do the work, maybe it's me not always seeing the complete importance of this time, but all I know is that God is silent...meaning, He has me here to finish. I want to cry. I want to sit down and forget that exams start next week. I just want to be done. Only 5ish more semesters. ONLY. It still seems like a long time.

Papers & Snow

Tis the season to be jolly...or so one would think. That's the difference right now. I can't think of jolly holidays until I have finished thinking of school! But good news...it's coming to the end of the semester. Only 1 more week until the end of classes, which means I will have finished my many many papers, and have started studying for my finals. The temporary end is in sight and I am looking forward to the time of festivities with loved ones and long lost friends. If I would have a point to this entry it is to wish you all God's blessings in this season. Cherish it, enjoy it, and remember what it is for.

P.S. If you find yourself on your knees, remember me in your prayers. The end is near but I still have 2 papers and 3 finals. Pray that I keep my focus and motivation, short-term and long-term!
