Seeing His Grace

Oh gosh, seeing things from a different perspective really changes things. Over the past week, I've been constantly reminded that I need to really start to focusing on God and seeing how gracious He is rather than focusing on the bad side of things. It's a good lesson to learn and though I'm not there yet, I'm slowly working towards it. As stressful as exams may be, or as horrible my timetable is, I'm glad that it is the way it is. It's teaching me to really organise time better and get back into the routine of school everyday.

On another note, having Helena keep me accountable is such a great blessing. In fact, Helena is such a great blessing. It's always a joy to be able to share joys, worries, and struggles with brothers and sisters. (So why don't you do it, you bum =_=) But no really, it's awesome. Keeping each other accountable, encouraging each other with God's words, it'd be great to do that with every sister in Christ. But darn, my pride. (Annie, you seriously need to get rid of that pride.) Well, Helena is a start :3
It's even better to know that we can relate to each other in our struggles. :3

And I'm going to end this post with some beautiful lyrics -
Praise to the Lord, who, when tempests their warfare are waging,
Who, when the elements madly around thee are raging,
Biddeth them cease, turneth their fury to peace,
Whirlwinds and waters assuaging.


Isn't He amazing?

A "short" update

Huh, it's been quite a while since I've posted here. Trials are creeping closer and closer, and you can't say I'm not stressed. But at the same time I haven't been the most productive person...in fact, I must say I'm very lazy. Less than 2 weeks til trials and I'm sitting here writing a blog. Here's how I've been going. All the drama's died down since last time, thankfully. I'm learning to let it go and not let it bother me as much. At the moment it seems that my parents are keeping a close watch on my sister, and God willing, it won't happen again. In terms of Barney, I can't say I don't have feelings towards him anymore, but it has been better. I guess I'm able to be comfortable around him again. My pain has returned, but what can I do. My menstrual cycle is currently terrible- I think I've bled for almost a month now. The pain is as usual, a pain- especially to manage because my meds haven't been of use lately....

Apparently not stressed enough.

Why don't my parents do the HSC if they think it's so easy? So, basically, I got my report last night and when my dad saw it, he just kept repeating the fact that my marks were crap and that I'm doing horribly. "You should be the top of the school" My mum wasn't any better, saying that I didn't do well and I need to work harder. Why do they only look at extension maths? I KNOW I FAILED IT. As if I don't feel crappy already. Don't cry. You can't cry.  You're not allowed to cry.

Faithful

A timely reminder in the midst of chaos.
