well my first year of university has almost come to its conclusion. exams start in two days, end on the 23rd (annoying, i know), and then it is freedom for me!! i cannot believe how fast the year has gone by; somehow the speed of time always catches me off-guard. this summer i plan on doing a lot of reading in the hammock, which isn't really a new resolution. i'll be working at the credit union, and perhaps part-time waitressing somewhere, but i haven't heard back from the place i applied yet. the most exciting and recent news is that brandon is coming home!!!! i haven't seen him in almost two and a half years, so i am more than excited. it's only too bad i've got three exams in three days right when he arrives. mais, c'est la vie!
i have learned a lot this year, and not just academically, although very much has been learned in my classes (not the least of that being: i love political science, but do NOT want to be a politician...). the biggest thing i am still learning is that i cannot do this on my own strength, no matter how hard i try. somehow my human nature tries and tries to take control back from God and make my own path the way i think it should go. it is a lesson i perpetually relearn that this is a futile option, and the consequences can be heartbreaking. there is a lot to be said about remembrance, about remembering what God has done in the past and using that as an anchor when we forget--as we most certainly do. He does always provide, and He has never let me down before, even if His provision does not come in the way I had hoped or anticipated. indeed, one thing i can anticipate is that the ways of the Lord are mysterious....
and so, as a new day rises and this fantastic weather brings out the best in people, i look forward to another season, and of course respite from writing papers. hope you're all well and enjoying the sunshine. after a winter like we just had, weather like this makes me feel like anything is possible and everything's going to be alright. maybe that's not so far from the truth.
cheers
