It's sometimes hard to believe that time is in fact progressing....
I am stressed with school work, primarily my senior project, and it seems that all time is gone when the day is done. However, I know that this is not true.

Things have been rolling along and here I am at the end of week 5.... wild to think that in less than two months I will be going through graduation and in another 10 weeks after that I will be done with my undergraduate education. I have plenty to do until that time, but still to think that it's so close in sight... i'm excited :)

Me personally...well I am exhausted by life, but God is restoring my joy on a daily basis. I have spent some amazing time with other believers who challenge me to think differently and to think at all. I am being grown and stretched in ways I have always thought uncomfortable...but I am seeing good come from it. In my earlier years...or more like in my years prior to coming to Poly...I spent more time writing poetry. I always loved to write my heart down on paper, but never thought much about it. I met a new friend who love poetry and Praise God because I am being reminded how much it speaks to me and how it pushes me to be more real with myself. I like others to be real with me, but I am not good at being real with myself.... It's stretching me. I hadn't sat down and talked about life in a long time and then in the past two weeks I have had the chance at least twice and it's been an incredible blessing. God YOU are so good!!

Everything seems to keep going and sometimes I feel that I am removed and am just spectating, but I guess I remove myself from the crowd and sit back and watch. I am tired. I am worn out. God keeps me going....He has provided people who spur me on spiritually and probe my heart and mind to know me, He has provided fellowship and and encouragement through them. I have been reminded that I cut myself down too often and need to recognize that God does not make crappy people....I am no exception....I am His beloved.
