2 semesters down

Today is the first day of my 3rd semester in PA school.  I await it's beginning with both excitement and dread.  The dread is the residual feelings from last semester.  Typically, students have a substantial break between semesters so you start each one all "shiny" and new.  But our break was just 2 weeks, not quite enough time to forget the heartbreak, the depression, the destructiveness of last semester....and every day as I get dressed and search endlessly for something to fit this enlarged version of myself, i am reminded of what the last 5 mo produced.

But despite the dread, this is still the day that the Lord made.

So, i'm starting this new semester, not broken and beaten but triumphant and remembering my dependency on Christ, the solid rock I stand on.

I'm starting this semester w/ a new focus; striving to remember that I am called to put Christ first, keep Christ first...and all the rest of the stuff (exams, boyfriends, money, etc) will just fall into place.  

My plan for each day this semester is  simple.  1) spend some time in the Word- preferably before heading out for the day 2) exercise ~20 mins  3) study 4) do some self-reflecting 5) get a min of ~6hrs sleep.

So let's get this party started!
