Perspective

September looks to be a month of changes, busy-ness, and new beginnings. School is far from winding down - there are 2 quizzes, 4 exams, and graded assessments. My older sister is getting married and moving out. I'm turning 24 (!)

Sometimes when I look at my schedule book, I feel a sense of worry and get overwhelmed by the sheer amount of revision that needs to be done, the responsibilities in church that need to be fulfilled, and the duties I need to carry out for the wedding :o Change is also upon us as we are moving out of the house I've called home for the past 13 years. Moving to where? We still don't know. 

But I know God will carry me through and I also feel excited for what's to come. At random times in the day I stop to think about how great God is and how good this life He has given me is. Sure there are tougher times and not every moment is glorious, but in the bigger picture, I do feel incredibly blessed and grateful that:
- I get to do what I've dreamed of doing for a long time. 
- I get to serve in the church I love. 
- I have a loving family. 
- I have pretty awesome friends. 

I am bent on enjoying and loving my September. And I will try not to let the evil one rob me of this joy or peace. 

God is good always, no matter how we feel.
