First Week

Hey everybody! How are y'all this week? I'm doing okay, could be better. This was the first week of classes, and I am so completely happy to be back on campus full time. I have missed being able to be a normal student. Classes are going well so far, but it's only the first week. Math is going a little tougher, but then math has never been my strong subject. Health wise, I've been okay. Stress is kinda settling in, and I've been trying not to snap from it. Monday night was probably the hardest night. My friend texted me about a situation that she had been in, and it caused a panic attack. I fully believe that it could've been worse if Bekah, Lissie, Micah, and Bridey hadn't been there. This one was really bad, you guys. I couldn't breathe, I could barely talk, and I felt like I could've started beating myself. Thankfully, the Fantastic Four mentioned above helped me start breathing again and held me so I didn't start beating myself and got me talking so I could kind of function. They wouldn't let me drive until I could function fully, which meant I stayed on campus until 11, an hour after my curfew. That was certainly a hard day. I would also have to say that Thursday was a hard day too. Y'all know that I got the job at Dick's Sporting Goods. Well, starting at the interview, I felt God telling me that Dick's wasn't where he wanted me right now. I ignored the feeling because my parents would have gotten mad at me for giving up this opportunity. Well, that voice grew, and on Thursday, I resigned from Dick's. Thursday night was not a good night in my house. Mom and Dad were both really upset, and I was upset because I was following what I was being told. Well, that hasn't really gone away. Mom and Dad are still mad at me, and I am currently applying for a job with Longview ISD to help students with their reading. I feel this is where God is leading me. So, prayers for that would be appreciated. Have a great week!

Stay Beautiful!
