As the Day Ends...Still Thankful :)

Today was an interesting day. Got feedback on something that threw me for a loop. Didn't quite know how to handle it at first but shortly afterwards decided I'd give it over to the Lord. Upon doing so, I felt so much better, so much lighter and relieved. My classes went well but I know I have some major studying to do this weekend and be more vocal in my classes.

As far as my personal life is concerned, that is taking the backseat. I have a lot to focus on right now and that is maintaining soundness spiritually, emotionally, mentally, physically, intellectually...All of that isn't to make myself great or to stand out or whatever but so I can be able to pour into others effectively...based in Christ and not emotions. I don't want to live a double standard so whatever I have to sacrifice, or whoever, so be it because my life isn't about me but those who need to see that there is more to life than existence.

Relaxation. I am getting on the road in a few hours to go home and spend time with my family and close friends. I realized relaxation and chill time is just as important as being on my grind. I must keep a healthy balance because what is life if I can't enjoy it? Why would the sun shine if it was not intended for me to bask in its radiance?

Lord, help me to keep trusting You and to remain faithful to You. I know You have plans and purposes for my life so help me embrace every lesson, whether it relates to school, love, etc and learn from them. I choose to apply what I learn to my life so I can reach others for Your glory. Help me to remember that it is all about You and not about me at all. As I choose to enjoy every moment of this life You have blessed me with, let me not take anything, any person for granted but strengthen me to live out Your unconditional love always. In Your precious name I pray, Amen.
