Oh my! What a crazy first two weeks of the new semester this has been. Only God knows if I will survive this semester or not with all the added responsibilities that I have taken on.
Difficult things:
1) Waking up early...I am taking a 7am class that meets everyday, and it has been so difficult to wake up for it. I am NOT a morning person and I firmly believe that there should be a law against waking up before 10am. haha.
2). Balancing school work, friends, rest, God, and family. Not to mention, God gave me a JOB!!! But, more on that later.
3). Taking time to have my quiet time/ memorize the book of Phillipians each day. This really is a struggle for me. Because, sitting down and reading feels more like pleasure, than something I should make a priority for. However, I'm beginning to see how much I desperately to spend time with God in the morning. He loves me and wants to spend time with me. And my day always feels more balanced when I've had my quiet time.
4). Trying to find the balance between relaxation and working. Both are important...and good! But, they have to be properly balanced, and this is something I need to work on.
5). Not being able to go to Cross Wave very often...
6). I have to go do homework.
Great Things!
1). As I mentioned before God has placed me in a job! He quite literally put this in my lap. I now work at Upper Crust Pie and Bakery in Raleigh. It is a wonderful place, and SO much fun to work at. I love coming home feeling accomplished, and excited about what I made. I'm still a bit nervous, and am learning my way around the kitchen and how things need to be done, but it's such a pleasure.
2). One of the classes that I was dreading more than anything is actually of fun! All of my cakes in the class came out perfectly, and my timing was fast. Which is great! Being adequately prepared helped so much! And the teacher wasn't half as bad as I thought they would be.
3). I am pleasantly surprised that I both understand and enjoy my Math 115 class.
4). I have started watching Dr. Who and am quite addicted at the moment. haha.
5). God is up to something, and I don't know what it is but I look forward to see what He is going to do in and through me. He has me where I am and in the classes I'm in for a reason...I can't wait to see what it is.
6). I am so immeasurably blessed! My friends and family are such a blessing to me, and I am thankfully for each and everyone of you.
Tonight I went to Katie's house and we watched Letters to Juliet. It's wonderful to watch a romantic comedy with a good friend. Sometimes a girl just needs to spend time doing nothing with a dear friend. Just talking about movies, and the uncomplicated things of life. It was wonderful, and I was sad to leave. Saturday I work again and then meet an old classmate of mine to work on cakes.
I just wanted to update you on my goings on. I hope that you are all well, and are enjoying the new year.
Blessings,
Kara
