Oh, it's been one of those weeks. Yes... one of THOSE weeks. I take comfort in the fact that I'm not the only one who feels this way though, it seems to have been a rather long week for many people :P
This song helped make this week a little more bearable, however. It's by one of my favorite female artists and I seriously waited years for her to finally debut. All I can say now is that it was well worth the wait!
The Worldview Conference is also taking place this weekend! I can't quite put my finger on it, but I'm excited for it this year more than I have any other year. I just get the feeling that it's going to be something that will really impact me and meet me where I'm at... and Dr. Williams (the University president) will also be speaking during one of the parallel sessions and you KNOW it's going to be good :D
I think as I dragged my feet through this week, I truly realized what a good support system I have at PBU. I mean, I'm technically only on campus one day a week, but even at work last night I was tired and on the verge of being majorly cranky -- but the friends I work with were just so lovely and encouraging and by the end of my shift I was a hundred times more cheerful than I had been when I first came in. It's almost a shame how I haven't realized until recently just how much I miss being on-campus... but being away and thrown into an entirely different setting has taught me so much, that I think that when I do end up bumming around on campus every day next semester, that I'll have more to offer. I'm not sure if I can smile any more than I do now, but I don't think it would hurt to try...
Dear God,
Thank you for consistently showing me grace and for getting me through a week that has proved to be challenging, and for holding onto me during times where I could have fallen over. Never stop being awesome.
