it's weird how one's perspective on life can change so quickly. you go to bed fairly upset about something, and then wake up and realize how trivial it was. this is the story of my life as of late. as i'm growing in my relationship with christ, i'm noticing how little the stuff i worry about really matters. and when i realize that, i'm less stressed, which is good, since i'm almost always stressed about something or other.

i've started changing my mornings this school year. i'm not what one might call a "morning person" per se..... i guess you could say that i love mornings, but i hate waking up. so i made a decision that i wasn't going to waste my mornings sleeping anymore....i'm almost always up early enough to get to school by 7:45. since i wake up earlier, i can take a little bit more time getting ready, and i get to go outside and breathe the morning air--which for some odd reason wakes me up and gives me peace. it sort of starts my day off with the whole "god is god and i'm not" perspective.

i'm also loving bible study this year. i was afraid of the whole homework thing since i get enough of it from school as it is.....but i'm learning more when i get a chance to study the passage prior to the group study. i can't wait to see how i will learn and grow this year.

rock on. laters.
