this quarter is going to challenge me in crazy ways
academically, i am taking the hardest course that exists for my major
emotionally, i’ve already cried more in the past twenty-four hours than i did total last quarter
relationally, i will have to be much more intentional because i’m busy, my friends are busy, and life is crazy
spiritually, i will have to cling to the promises of Jesus and the hope he offers because life is hard, people are broken, and i know i’m going to continue learning about and being exposed to injustice & oppression in many forms
it’s going to be hard and my heart will break again & again
but my God is a god who heals
He makes things new
and it’s comforting to have someone who is stronger than the darkness to stand beside
