Stuff
I just finished one of the most
stressful, frustrating, tiring and gut wrenching weeks of my life thus far, an
exam on Monday, a presentation later in the week in which a 5PM meeting with
the professor on Tuesday told us to do more research. We did hours of research, which
lasted until one PM on Thursday. Thursday night we finalized the PowerPoint and
quickly went over our presentation. Come this morning at 11AM we were giving
our presentation. I did not feel prepared at all! Reading papers to present on
research that others had completed, I felt I knew nothing. In the moments
before class I felt I could lose my breakfast. My mom put it best that morning.
She told me that I was the one that knew the information the best and that I
would be fine. She spoke a lot of truth into my life. I’m so blessed because of
her. My performance today does not, I repeat, does not, define
me. I’m worth so much more and however this semester turns out I am still
Charissa, a child of His. It’s not a definition of Charissa, it does not take
away from who Charissa is. It’s a learning process, but I’m very slowly
learning to accept this truth. I am more than the sum of my past mistakes, or
what I hold as mistakes.
As I’ve not been faithful in
posting for the Joy Dare, 1000 gifts, I find todays so perfect for today, Three
Gifts From His Work. Next week will another busy one, an exam on Monday and two
papers due on Friday. (Plus a very lovely lady is getting married!!! Eeep!)
These truths are essential for me to remember next week and always.
What I’m thankful for today:
- Peace
- Presence
- Strength
To Remember: No power on earth could ever separate us from
mercy and grace!
