There's more to come: We continue to shout our praise even when we're hemmed in with troubles, because we know how troubles can develop passionate patience in us, and how that patience in turn forges the tempered steel of virtue, keeping us alert for whatever God will do next. In alert expectancy such as this, we're never left feeling shortchanged. Quite the contrary-we can't round up enough containers to hold everything God generously pours into our lives through the Holy Spirit.

Got It Back
You know how sometimes after you've been feeling down and overwhelmed for awhile you just wake up one morning and your swagga is just back. Today is that day. I just got back another paper in class. I've gotten 3 back so far and I got a 20 out of 20 on one and on the other two I only had two or three points off. Don't get me wrong Grad. school isn't a cake walk by any means but so far it's going sooo much easier than I thought. My only issues are the ones that I make for myself with time management and what not. I see so many people trippin like they really weren't expecting it to be the way it is or they think the teacher is being too hard cause they aren't babysitting them through assignments. Meanwhile I'm just chillin. I'm getting my stuff caught up at work and working hard to keep it caught up and that feels great. I just went and looked at an apartment and I love it and have decided whether certain people get there shit together or not I'll just get a roommate and move August 1st sticking to my original plans. So I'm feeling pretty good. I think I realized that how can I expect to feel positive if I don't pump myself up for it. So I'm pumping myself up for it. I've been making time do my pilates on a regular and I'm thinking if I keep it up in a month or so I'll probably be where I wanna be. So yeah, unfortunately I do have a lot of extra drama going on in the background. I'm choosing to not look at that stuff and focus on the positives and what is going right. I have so much potential and so many great things to look forward to that I shouldn't be down for a second. I'm 24, driven, intelligent, kind, and rather pretty I have a lot to be thankful for and life's too short to focus on that other shit. You either choose to let your struggles bring you down and stop you from progressing, or you become stronger for it and grow as a person. I'm all about the latter.
