Good morning, Tumblr. I only slept one hour last night. For a total of 2 hours of sleep within 2 days. WOOHOO, FINALS SEASON.
Brace yourself, Jainah. This is only the beginning. The next couple of weeks is going to be CRAZY intense! And I’ve been telling people that what is driving me to pass this semester is the fact that the next semester, I’ll be working with kids. OMGULAY. I can’t wait! The Lord has been so good to me this semester in sustaining me despite the countless times where I know I have failed Him when I fall into anxiety, frustration, and laziness. NOT God-glorifying. And I’m so thankful for my brothers and sisters in Christ who have kept me accountable to that and who have been praying for me. It honestly has been one of my biggest struggles this semester. And I find it hilarious that before the semester even started, I have specifically prayed for God to challenge/discipline me in this aspect of my faith thinking “YEAH. I got this. Bring it.” And then here comes the truth of His word:
Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before the fall. Proverbs 16:18
Yup, God killed my pride for sure. So those who have been praying for me, don’t just pray for me. Pray for everyone that is also sharing in this struggle. It’s a serious battle between pride and submission to our Savior.
Work hard, everybody! Do your best :) Sorry if this blog is all over the place. I am sleep deprived. Time to get ready for school!
