today is my first day of graduate school. of papers, and cramming past midnight. of planners, binders, and textbooks with post-it notes sticking out. so begins my year of multi-tasking, juggling, rearranging to make time and space for family, full-time work, pilates, and daily phone calls to my sister.
and as nervous, overwhelmed, and anxious as i am,
i woke up this morning bathed in a holy peace. a reassurance of an ancient promise. i marvel at how the very covenants made with prophets and disciples are still very alive, real and steadfast in my shifting, vagabond life.
because my stresses are different, yes. they are technology based, fueled by the desires and responsibilities of a life lived in the digital age. but His assurances haven't moved. the same God who part the seas will clear a straight way for me. through all the murkiness, muddles, essays and exams.
so i will trust. though i see the long nights ahead of me and the worries inching toward my heart. and that trust alone will push them back into the darkness from which they came.
yes, school starts today.
but my most valuable lesson came with the sunrise.

Grad school Ahh! Youll do fantastic! I was reading a book the other day and it was talking about how the same God hears us that heard moses, Abraham etc. Pretty cool huh!?

PSS is the code for my button wrong?
So excited for you! You are going to do great. Love how open you are about God- so inspiring:-)
i absolutely LOVED grad school! sure it was a ton of work, but it's work you can get really excited about. plus everyone is older, more focused, and more passionate about the topic. the professors treat you like colleagues rather than students and you have the opportunity to make real world connections in ways you never could in undergrad or as an employee.
i hope you have a blast in grad school.... what field are you in?
best of luck with this school year, I am sure you will be able to find a happy balance between everything in your life
