blogging again? maybe.

So, over the past few years, I've become increasingly bad at taking the time to journal. It is something that I really enjoy doing, it just winds up taking a lot of precious homework/reading time that a college student at The Master's College (and probably any college/university) desperately needs. I will randomly journal a page or two here or there in my hard-copy journal, but it's become more and more sparce that I do that too. I miss journalling. A while ago, I'd started a Blogger account, but after a week of blogging, it was causing more drama than it was worth, and so I deleted everything. But I think I'm back. I don't really know for how long, but I'd like it to be for a long time. Tomorrow's my last day of Spring Break, and while I haven't done too much in the way of studying or required reading, I felt like it was a very restful and fun Spring Break. Last Friday I had such high hopes and expectations for the week, that I'd get all of my papers written, I'd study a lot for my New Testament midterm on Monday, I'd finish all the books I need to read within the next couple of weeks, it'd be great. I did kind of know that I think I was setting too high of goals for just one week, and sure enough, they were. But ya know what, I think that the week turned out as I really, deep down, wanted it to. I got to see Brant, the King family, and Debra (she's on her way over now) not to mention I got to spend a lot of my time with my family, especially my sister. I was worried she was going to be gone for most of the week at friends' houses, but she came home everyday after school, and a couple of evenings we played Xbox together, which I loved. I tend to always favor relationships with people over schoolwork, which I have tried really hard not to do this past semester, but I gave in with Spring break. Sure, it will bite me in the butt in the coming weeks, I'll have to work extra hard to catch up and stay on top, continuing to barely keep afloat this semester, but I know that stuff will get done. I'll have to rely on God's strength and power, but that's when I show his glory through myself the best. 2 Cor. 12:9
