This has definitely been one of the most difficult semesters of my entire college career. But, it's been absolutely wonderful at the same time! After being home this last weekend, I've realized how God has given me so much to be thankful for.
I have the best parents ever, who will go out of their way to help me. I appreciate the time I get to spend with them so much. I have three amazing sisters who just make me laugh. I look up to them. And though we've had our fair share of fights, God knew what He was doing when He put me in this family. Looking back, I'm so grateful that I was raised in a family who loves me more than words can express. Because of them, I've got a good foundation in Christ.
And then there are my friends. The people who are in my life right now are such a blessing. They are practically family to me! And I've know they've got my back. I'm particularly thankful for my fellow accounting majors. I know for a fact, that is has been the hardest semester for all of us. But, they make my education so much more worth it. I especially love our study nights - full of laughs and of course, productivity.
And then there's school... I'm seriously blessed to go to a school where the professors love Jesus. But, only until this semester did I realize how truly blessed I am. It's amazing how gracious my professors have been. And today, in the midst of preparing for the two of the hardest weeks of my semester, I was reminded by one of them that I'm doing this for God, not a grade. I think I lost sight of that importance for a bit. But, it was exactly what I needed to hear at that very moment. All that really matters is that I'm living a life that's pleasing to Him and giving Christ glory. If it was about getting those good grades, then it would be all about me. But truth is, it's not about me. It's about Him. So since it's about Him, I'm going to finish strong this semester with His help because I can't do it on my own. He's got me... until the end :)
