It's winter again, and the sky is grey again. At the church that I used to go to before we moved, the bulletins always had a verse or a quote on them. One of them was, "Without a glimpse of darkened skies, our hearts would never realize the beauty of the day." It's such a true statement. I love winter, but the warmer weather made me excited for summer.
Well, a lot of things have changed since my last post. I no longer have a perfect devotions record for 2008. I very nearly lost a really good friend--partly my own fault. I let the way I was feeling interfere with school, and I got very little done. I'm also getting sick partly due to stress I think, but mostly due to a lack of sleep. Needless to say, I hit a low point this past weekend. A very low point. But, everything's starting to look up now. Nothing's perfect, but I'm working on everything--a combined effort on some things.
I hate that I haven't done my devotions in the last three days, but I can't dwell on that. I just have to get back into them. And I will, starting tonight. My friendship isn't perfect, but we're okay, and I think this falling out will actually make us better friends than we were. I'm catching up on most of my homework. I still have a paper due on Wednesday that I haven't even started yet and a lot of reading, but I have gotten some things done, and now I just have to stay focused and disciplined. I'm still sick, but I think I if catch up on some sleep I'll start feeling better soon.
The good thing about low points--God always has a lesson planned somewhere in there. I'm listening and just realizing the beauty of the day.
