I'm going home today! I am so happy. The last time I was home for more than an overnight, was the beginning of October for fall break. This time is much needed; I need to get away from here and just rest. Life is busy and school can be hard. really, really, hard. But there is so much to look forward to also, like going home and in a couple of weeks, some friends are coming to Minnesota! There are so many great things ahead.
A verse that is hanging from a garland above my bed reads,
He has made everything
beautiful
in His time...
Ecclesiastes 3:11a
Such a good reminder every morning. Remember that. I'm trying to.
This song is so good. You must have a listen. Lately I have been so overwhelmed by the tasks ahead of me: research projects, especially for one of my classes that completely intimidates me, graduation applications I need to take care of, and concerns about my possible internship next fall and everything that needs to be completed within the next year. It seems crazy to worry about things that will happen and that I will have to work through in a year, but I am. A while ago I became super fed up with Christian music and thought that God has created all his people with special gifts, so I could experience God through other music. I still believe that, but there is something about the optimism in Christian music. I am still very particular that the lyrics have some depth amongst other things that still bother me. Anyways, there have been a few songs that have been helping me make it through the tough times in life. This song was introduced to me by my friend, Michaela, while we were in Europe this January. We were actually in a bus when she told me that I have to listen to this song. She, like me, is very particular about music taste and we actually are quite similar. I hope this song brings some comfort to you in this busy life; I love that this song asks that we only trust in God and that farther along, we will understand why.
