currently, i’m laying in bed with a fire crackling in the fireplace beside me, taking a break from studying and schoolwork [all of which is due tomorrow] and wishing for some snow! they got some west of us because i just got off the phone with my mom and she told me it was snowing in mansfield, but unfortunately i think it might miss us here in dallas. bummer. i’ve enjoyed the cold weather though… i’ve had a fire going every single night this weekend, but tonight’s the first day of this season that i’ve had one going in my bedroom. it literally makes me SO EXCITED to get in bed and go to sleep. unfortunately not what i need when i’m supposed to be studying, but studying in bed seems to be going okay so far. :)
anyway, in regards to last week’s challenge, the bad news is that i still had a lot of work to accomplish today in order to complete everything that’s due tomorrow and to be ready for my exam, but the good news is that i did accomplish a lot this week and didn’t wait until the last minute to do it all, which is a REALLY good thing because i probably wouldn’t have finished otherwise. i’m doing the last bit of work, and i’ll definitely be ready to have it all behind me tomorrow.
this week, i’m going to practice patience. i’m such a planner and i want to make things in my life happen the way i want them to when i want them to. but my timing isn’t always God’s timing, and i have to tell myself this pretty regularly. sometimes i get worried that just because things don’t happen when i want them to, they’re not going to happen at all, and then i feel all disappointed for no reason, because things always end up working out the way they’re supposed to. always. i need to keep it all in perspective and be patient. and not worry so much. i’m creating problems that don’t exist!
{sitting by the fire. this has been my whole weekend, pretty much. and i’m not sad about it.}
