Break is Just so Close...

Wow! It's been a very long time since I've posted....I've just been so busy! My life is pretty much me balancing (well...trying) my relationship with the Lord, school, volleyball, and being social. Yikes! It's so hard! I want to do well in school, obviously. Actually better than well. But I also know that there is so much more to life at college than grades. When I figure out the perfect balance, I'll be sure to blog about it. I can't believe it's October already! And almost halfway through, at that! Fall break starts on Friday, well, Thursday for everyone else, but we have practice on Friday. Yay. I just can't wait to go home! I almost started crying today thinking about it actually, which is weird! I haven't been homesick much this year. I was just thinking about waking up on Saturday mornings to my mom doing her Bible study with her coffe and my dad coming in from outside wearing his hat to cover his bedhead and smelling like yard work. I love waking up in my own room. I love showering in my own shower. I love being at church with the body that I know. I miss driving on the back roads. I miss sitting in my kitchen. I miss laying on our couch. I just miss being in a house period! Soon enough! This week will go quickly. I have tests everyday starting tomorrow and ending on Tuesday. Wednesday is our last day of class since we'll be in Indy on Wednesday and then KY on Thursday! That will be fun.

I would just like to take a moment to say that I am so thankful that my life is so different than how it was last year! The Lord surely saw me through and it's only by His grace. I am SO thankful for all that He took me through even though it was the most painful time ever! I am so much more aware of ugly things in my heart. The Lord is still refining me. Ha, I'm pretty sure there will always be a need for that! I am just...happier than last year. Not as full of worry and anxiety, and I'm content. Praise Him!
