wow, I moving very slowly today... like I'm in a time warp or something. I guess that can be attributed to the 2 hours of sleep I had last night. I thank God for waking me up this morning, not only waking me up, but waking me up on time when my alarm did not go off or I was too zonked out to hear it. I feel much much better today. It was uplifting talking to my supervisor about what was going on because it helped me gain more perspective. It's great talking to my mommy about things, but I guess parents can sometimes be quick to do the "aww baby, you need to come home thing" instead of trying to get you to look at situations in different ways. I'm thankful that God his placed such wonderful people around me. He doesn't cease to amaze me, He really doesn't. No matter how complacent or jaded I get with whatever's going on in my life He shows me something new. I need to spend more time with Hui-san. She's my buddy and I never see her. We don't get much time for iron sharpens iron. I need to look to God and to the strong Christian friends I know I have instead of listening to the lies the enemy tells me about how I have no friends and I'm drowning. So yes, I feel tons better today. Even so, I'm STILL trying to go home for all of next week. I miss my family and it's too stressful and expensive to try to switch two duty shifts AND drive there two consecutive weekends. When I told my mom it had been suggested that I go home this weekend and next, she was like... are you AWARE of the current gas prices? I was like, I know right. I shouldn't complain but it cost me like $26 to put 3/4 of a tank in my car... so maybe about 6 gallons or so. Thank God for providing my little on-campus jobs. I don't know what I'm going to be doing next year in graduate school to survive. The road ahead of me is slowly unfolding though, so I know that God won't leave me to a blind path.
