I am challenging myself to make this post only a paragraph. Strange (and oddly hard to do) for me since I love to just type all of my thoughts out like as they come out of my brain. However-- I am choosing to love myself today! I have had about 8 hours cumulative of sleep because of my insane week-- and since I have to be up at 0500 tomorrow... I am going to let myself get some much needed rest now that my midterms are all complete and everything else I needed to do is finished! My major opportunity to choose love today was that I went to the grocery store on my way home because it has a Wells Fargos inside of it. I saw a homeless person outside of it asking for spare change--not an uncommon occurrence over here. I went in an bought a bunch of fresh fruits and a couple other snacks and walked out and gave them to him. I then talked to him for about 15 minutes and prayed with him (upon his request) before I left. I totally forgot to deposit my checks at the ATM... but hey--what canya do?! It was blessing to meet that man. He had a truly remarkable story and completely blessed me! I could say so much more-- but I promised to love myself today too! So goodnight!
edit: My Oh My! In the hustle and bustle of doing all of my midterms and clinicals assignments before midnight... I totally forgot to do my Faithful Friday! So I am back here adding to Friday's blog because it is so important for me to do!!
Faithful Friday:
I would absolutely love to thank God for his faithfulness in these following areas this week:
- Friendship: I was so absolutely blessed to be able to spend time in Santa Barbara this past week and really be able to spend some time with some of my absolute best friends. They always bring such a revitalizing energy to my soul. I love them and an blessed by the truth, faithfulness, and prayer they speak into my life.
- School: I really love one of my new teachers. She is my teacher for a class and a teacher for one of my clinicals... so I get a double dosing. She really is so wonderful. She is easy to talk to, a lovely nurse, and really seems to care about her students. This was such a pleasant surprise and I am so grateful!!
- Family: It was my brother's birthday this week! I am so happy that I was able to spend time with him!!! I haven't really been able to see very much of him since he left for college 6 years ago... so it has been so incredible to really spend a lot more time with him. I feel like I found the missing puzzle piece I have been looking for for the past 6 years!
-Miscellaneous: I have been praying for a lot of different people this past week. Some of my prayers have been answered!! They were meant to be confidential, so I will not share them, but I am overjoyed in how the Lord is responding to our prayer!
