high on life.

the past few days have been a challenge for me to say the least. i had a midterm on monday. paper due today. midterm about three hours ago. and now i have a 10pg paper due tomorrow morning along with a 10 minute presentation in front of my professor and five other students. it seems like all i've been doing has been studying and just focusing on that. but i've done other things as well. i can really say that only recently did i fully trust in God and His perfect timing. let me continue on this for a minute. I've always thought study. study. study. i need to study in order to get a good grade and i can put EVERYTHING off until later because this is more important. But recently i've been going with GOD'S flow and really trusting that He'll give me the time i need to prepare for these exams. and although i felt pressured and crammed for time, i feel like God prepared me for these exams. I didn't freak out. i didn't go crazy. i trusted that God would lead me through as He always has and always will. 

i ate with my family and really enjoyed it. i had lunch with my cousin and sister talking about the randomness in our lives. i took breaks to do things that came up. I had a two hour meeting with collins and henry on sunday without backing out because i needed to study as i usually do. i watched the meteor shower last night at 1:30am instead of cramming. i watched at least three or four shooting stars with heidi and her roommates when they dragged me out of my apt and into the freezing cold. i helped a friend study even though i wasnt prepared myself and found out that it helped me more than if i could have studied by myself. God continues to surprise me with new revelations everyday. around every corner. in the smallest of things. in the most beautiful people. and in the most random ways. as you can tell i'm high off life. so let me live it out haha. after all these years i'm actually seeing God's grace, LOVE, mercy, patience and beauty in the things that make up my life. 

thank you GOD. for everything. You are truly amazing.
