Life Happened

blah.. why did life have to get stressful again. I was having enough on my plate trying to see what God is doing, now "life" has hit again.
projects have hit the fan again and one extremely nightmarish one has come back for revisions
im working on buying a motorcycle, my mom's not happy but everyone else, in my family at least, is supportive. I know I'm "crazy," it's dangerous, I don't need to hear it anymore I've made my choice.
Im trying to sort things out with some people, and don't know what to do/say

So often I feel like I'm making progress and growing then seemingly "life" happens, things just pop up that require attention and place the other on the back burner. It's like I'm climbing up this mountain face and as soon as I really am able to stretch and reach out and over the next outcrops I have to stop to eat, sleep, fix my straps, etc. Each of these things are vital to my existence yet they delay the obtainment of my ultimate goal yet I can't not do them and expect to reach the top. I guess I just need to learn to better balance each aspect.

Peace beyond all understanding

I love how God is so in control of my life. Lately, He's been reminding me of things He has taught me and showing me things He is teaching me that I hadn't realized. Quick bullet points are:

• He is in control of every detail
• To love like He does I must be willing to accept love
• His peace and grace surpass all understanding
• He is continually working on and in me
• He has blessed me with so much, in experiences, glimpsing how He may be using me, family, friends that aren't afraid to say what they should

I know my life will never be an easy sail for that I'm grateful, if I ever do get to a place where things are going swimmingly, someone please wake me up. I would like to praise God:

• for allowing me to do the best I've done ever so far at Tech class-wise
• for blessing me with so many opportunities to serve Him
• the ability to seek His face whether I'm on a retreat or doing chores
• teaching me so much about Him through a relationship, that I'm grateful He has had His hand on since the beginning, I have no regrets and have learned a ton
  

Each time I go through a challenge I learn something about God's character and I'm excited to see what God has in store for me. For those of you that read this I need to be heading to bed as I start work again tomorrow but I have a couple of prayer requests for you to lift up to God:

• I start back to work, so everything that encompasses, ease and memory recall of getting back to it
• My Dad is on night-shift again for work, safety and rest
  
• My brother is getting ready to leave for Nicaragua on a mission trip at the end of this week for several days, safety, speed, and smoothness of working through challenges
• I'm planning on seeking out different churches here at home, wisdom and courage to follow through
• strength, peace, wisdom, and reminders to run to Jesus when I'm attacked and my emotions try to run wild with me heart

Thank you for reading and considering my requests. Maybe I'll update this more and elaborate subjects... leave me Bible verses or comments, I'm always open to what people have to say.

Moving

I'm sooo tired of having to move seemingly constantly(aka twice a semester). I don't know whether it's b/c I've never moved in my life until college or just the repetitive leaving friends and what not. People have been askin' me if I'm ready for summer? glad to be done? looking forward to work? etc other typical life halfway just making small talk questions? I really don't know my answer to these questions this time around. Before I could just half think and come up with the pros and cons, this time, I have no clue. I can't even really come up with a good list, my brain cannot organize my thoughts on this, other than is it time for these already? I feel like each time these questions come closer and closer together leaving little time to process what's happened between. ...
I should probably be sleeping but I can't. I feel like anytime I want to sleep I can't and when I most need to be awake is when my body just shuts down. For example, I didn't have to get up today by any specific time and I wen, to bed not to long after midnight and woke up on my own, no alarm, around 7 I think then tossed and turned until 11 when I finally got up. I know I'm not the only one that suffers from these problems ...
Finals... blah so I ended up only with 2 finals out of a potential 4. Basically I landed my grades in such a middle range that my professor's essentially said don't bother taking the final it won't help your grade, thanks. So I finished Tuesday and I've been hanging around to see everyone and pack, etc. I almost wish(keyword almost) I didn't finish so early and only with 2 finals, everyone is like you stink I know there's no true mean thoughts behind that but I feel like they've forgotten I've been in there position and rarely get a break like this. Anyways I should stop I believe my prose is turning into complaints and not thought provoking content like a blog should be.
Good Luck on finals and get some rest! goodnight
