I know I've been slacking

On my posts that is. . School has been hec-tic. Right now, I am so tired that for the past 25mins I have been deliberating how I can muster enough strength to get up, shower & make some tea before bed. While contemplating those very urgent matters, I decided to update my regular blog readers on what is going on in the life of Kiz. *crickets chirp*...Ok so maybe I don't have regulars . . . yet ;) lol

Moving on...

Ever since thanksgiving weekend, Oct 12th to be precise, I have been bombarded with schoolwork. I know I am not the only one, but I feel like Elijah right now. Excuse the exaggeration, but I feel like the ONLY one that has to deal with this. I have no free time except for Friday nights and Sundays, which I have set aside for the Lord. Every other day in the week I have been either in class or outside class studying or writing a paper. For a while, I felt as if it was just too much work. I didn't keep up with my readings at the beginning of the year, so there was and still is a pile up of readings and assignments that I have to do and I'm not exactly the fastest reader, nor writer, so things take time - Time I didn't seem to have, time I still don't have.

Simply put, I was stressed.

I needed to have a serious convo with my Maker, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Because he, being as brilliant and amazing as He is, decided to shorten the amount of time I have to complete some major assignments by sending me on a mission to Parliament Hill before these assignments are due. Hmmmm... How’s that going to work?

So we talked.

I was embarrassed when he said, "I the Lord your God is abundant in gifts and talents, he is able to do all things and through him all things are possible. Do you doubt that I can help you with something as simple as homework?"

I realized that I really needed to change my thought pattern. And so I did. I found out about what God's word had to say about my problem. It said that through God, all things are possible. It said I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Soon enough, relief came. Stress, which I realized was fear, which is NOT of God, had left me.

Yesterday I got another awesome word from Steph. Isaiah 40:31

But those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

I'm good now. Just trekking though it all. I'm still very tired and there is still a lot of work to be done, but it's going to get done because I have put my hope in the Lord and I'm not believing anything else.

Random pic of me at school. It adds colour to this stale looking post hahaa
