"my life flows on, in endless song" were the words I heard in a senior presentation last week. life flows, musical practices spring up, presentations and exam prep quickly take the lead, and writing falls into the category of things soon forgotten. however, I didn't stop exploring, learning, asking. and this is what I've learned:
1. my pastor compared adam and eve's temptation in the garden to earthly sin that we all face. it is centered in the middle of everything else, made to look better, more appealing. however, if we keep our face turned in the right direction, we will be led on. adam and eve were told not to eat the forbidden fruit, but sin took over. sin won. 2. anxiety is part of life. it's hard. it was the hardest thing I had to face - getting up in the morning with a constant knot in my stomach took a lot of effort. constantly worrying about what others were thinking about me quickly took over, my heart racing and stomach knotting even more. I learned to appreciate even more the friends I had surrounded myself with, and the ones who helped me more than they even knew. 3. going back to my entry. "my life flows on, in endless song." as exams moved to the forefront and I wanted to give up, I began to understand that not everything matters. the phrases that you learn in sunday school about god's plan and his will all suddenly made sense. your grades don't matter, your test scores don't exist in heaven. your plans have the ability to take a 360, but it doesn't matter. it's not your plan anyway.
