i hate flying. i get airsick and feel queasy every time i step into a plane. in a lot of ways, this sentence describes my life right now.
right now, things are so chaotic and busy. wheels touching the ground is kind of symbolic for the chaos lessening and things coming to an end. it's something i crave right now. it's something i always look forward to when i'm flying and when we land, i cannot wait for that moment because that is when my stomach can feel sturdy again.
right now, i feel like as the new year launched, so did this new quarter. i'm flying right now and i look forward to when God gives me the o.k. for landing and my "wheels can touch the ground" safely. :O)
as for now, God is totally helping me "fly" and sustaining me all through out it.
there's so much i want to write about how the rest of my winter break went. it truly was a blessing from God, those 3 weeks of rest, fun, celebrating, family, and etc. i enjoyed it SO MUCH that for the first time ever, i did not want to go back to Riverside. i always like going back because Riverside equals freedom and independence and the majority of my friends. yet, last quarter was so tough and challenging that i was scared to go back. i felt like i was not ready to handle all the stress and pressure again.
but after going to IHOP conference for the past week, i was REALLY challenged, inspired, and encouraged from it.
there are so many new years' resolutions i made that coincided with what i learned there. one of my resolutions is to work hard and let God use me in whatever way He wanted. this means surrendering my WHOLE life to him. and that includes going back to Riverside in order to be given those opportunities.
being back here has been certainly challenging but i have seen many blessings as well. i also am seeing a lot of growth in myself and others. i am excited for how this quarter is going to go. the Lord is full of surprises :O]
