I take fear and hope in the unknown. I am a planner. It is unsettling to not know how the remainder of this semester will unfold, what I will be doing this summer, or even when I will graduate. The things that I used to take comfort in such as volunteering and looking forward to camp are not currently part of my reality. I have temporarily put my own desires such as running, exercise and volunteering on the back burner in order to succeed in the remainder of the semester. We have entered 'that time of year' where everything adds up, and accounts for a large percentage of your grade, and GPA for that matter.
It is in these times where my demeanour won't allow me to give up, and my sleep deprived body would prefer I did, that I turn to my staple things: Accountability, Ownership, Faith, extra large steeped tea's, and medium sugar free lattes.
I take solace in the following words:
"Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and has made the Lord his hope and confidence" Jeremiah 17:7
When it feels like you're not truly living remember that it is in Him we live.

I will update later on today.
I received the following in an email today by someone I value.
'May today there be
peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to
be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of
faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have
received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be
content with yourself just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle
into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise
and love. It is there for each and every one of us.'
