Life has officially been a whirlwind this week.
Sidewalk chalk. My best friend with a hurting heart. Ice cream. Classes overwhelming me, already. Honest conversation. Thunderstorms. First super late homework night of the semester. Less than 6 hours of sleep 3 nights in a row. A good paper. A bad quiz. An appointment about my future. And finally, tonight, a lazy night. Grey's Anatomy.
It might not sound like a lot, but I'm drained. Sleep? My body doesn't seem to like it this week. I haven't been able to fall asleep a single night this week. My mind won't turn off. I think, process, think some more and over-process.
But through it all, God is good. And even though sleep is a struggle, I will rest in that truth.
Until next time, my world spins madly on.

Be Careful What You Wish For
Wow. Two posts back I ended my blog with "Bring it on Fall 2010, I'm ready."
I need to choose my words more carefully. In the first two weeks of school, classes have been crazy, Cru has been crazy, life has been crazy. And I was definitely NOT ready.
Six days ago, after an awesome long weekend, while hanging out with some of my best friends, I got a call that my grandma was on life support down in FL... and she probably wasn't going to make it. I went from laughing hysterically to crying in a matter of 30 seconds.
Five days ago I got a phone call that she had indeed passed away. I went through most of my day in a fog. My closest friends knew... they also knew me well enough to know that a hug & an "I love you" would suffice as comfort. I didn't want to talk about it. That night was also the Cru kickoff. We had ~430 people show up. I was reminded yet again that God is awesome and he is moving here at GVSU.
High. Low. High. Low. High. Low. On and on and on.
Life has been a rollercoaster this past week. I'm ready for the shoulder restraints to be released so that I can get off the ride. But I know that this semester is just getting started, and the rollercoaster is sure to continue.
God, keep me focused on you. I'm going to need you more than ever this semester. Amen.
PS Sorry this is so scattered... this is what my brain has been like though. So many thoughts at once!
