A New Chapter

This weekend, I'm moving into a new home! No more college dorm. Hopefully will solve whatever was causing me to look like an alien in the morning ;) God worked things out so smoothly and has provided in such a great way!

With that, I'm sad to leave my roommate and unit. As well as campus life and the conveniency of living on campus. Also, some new responsibilities will come in--cooking for one! Have to say, I'm pretty excited about that one. My goal will be to have basics on hand that I can food prep once a week to make meals easy. Want to keep my eating simple and clean--oh and cheap! Other areas of organizing my life--gym time, study time, boyfriend and friends, etc. Should be fun :)

I believe it will also be a time for me to grow spiritually in a different. I will be removed from all my friends and that will remove (well, alter) my temptation to constantly be on the go. I really have to guard against getting too busy in my life. I can be such a Martha--constantly doing something, saying something, worrying about something. But, I desperately have to remind myself to slow down and breathe. 

I'm really having to force myself to remember God's goodness, faithfulness, promises, and sovereignty. 

I often say, I take at least an hour to actually settle down to do homework or spend time with God. 
Sad, I know. 

I took this week off from the gym because I haven't been feeling too strong and thought it would be wise to give it all a rest. Sure, my body feels okay with the break. But, my heart and soul are so refreshed. I often have to keep it all in perspective as sometimes I allow the gym or my body to become idols to me or to measure my worth. Balance is so important!!

Well, now hopefully I'll be able to get some sleep :)

Here's to a new chapter!

Christ is enough.
