Life Keeps Moving

I think the theme of my life right now is literally that it keeps moving. :) And in that movement, God is glorified and at work, even if I can't always see it. Life in Jackson has been extremely hectic. It has been so hectic, in fact, that I had to quit my job at KOHL's Dept. Store. Those of you who know me well know that to quit in my book is failure... and failure is just not acceptable... Still, after praying about it and wrestling with there not being enough hours in the day and way too much stress on my plate, I finally had to do it. And guess what? Life kept moving! Lightning didn't strike, I didn't die of shame, and life kept going! I feel like God is trying to teach me something... Granted, my pockets aren't as full, and something will have to happen eventually in order for finances to stay in order, but for now God has more than provided.

Academically, I am majorly behind. My grades haven't been too badly affected yet, but I'm definitely not making the over-the-top A's I was used to in college. I got behind from being sick during mid-terms for a week. I just have not been able to catch up. It did not help that I went through a slight stage of depression for a couple weeks too. I just couldn't focus--all I wanted to do was sleep. God has brought me out of that, praise His name. Amazingly enough, though, I feel like I'm not supposed to be totally on top academically... I feel like God is trying to teach my something.

I've found myself really living like I value relationships. I'm enjoying it--even though I sometimes feel guilty about not giving 100% to my school work. I feel like I'm living in the midst of the tension of the balancing act, and God is teaching me something.

I finally found a church! Praise God!

Well, this blog has been very scattered and not well-written. My apologies. I was up til three this morning, so that's somewhat of an excuse.
