September

Today is the last day of September and all I have to say is WOAH! it went by fast. My first month of my last year of college is over and I will never have the time back. I think it is safe to say however that it was time well spent. Not only have I not gotten behind in school [YET] but I have made some amazing memories with amazing people. Here are pictures reflecting my life this past month and how I spent the 86,400 seconds a day I was blessed with :] Enjoy Them - Alice Christine

the stages of my emotions this morning

I had a rough start to my Sunday morning. I slept through my alarm and woke up to a phone call, "Where are you?" SHOOT! Myra and her friend Lina were at church waiting for me and I was in bed. Great. Then I get a text from Megan, "Hey are you here? Were gonna grab starbies." Of course! The first Sunday of the semester and I bail. SO its safe to say I was pretty bummed. I can say that my spirits have lifted significantly fast however. My morning quiet time always seems to reveal some deep rooted fact that I know already but that I need to be reminded of in that distinct moment. Todays quiet time is about living dependently on Jesus amongst the bustle of our busy busy lives. How convenient seeing that I am about to embark on my senior year taking 15 units and working 3 jobs while attempting to have a social life as well. Hmph. In the book I am using for devotionals, along with a note written from the perspective of Jesus, there are a handful of scriptures that you can look up that are related. The one that stuck with me the most, and that I will end this entry with, is 2 Corinthians 12:9-10,

"But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weakness, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, I am strong." 

- 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
