Me & God are like this (flashes up index & middle finger stuck together)

I feel closer to God than I ever have before. And I cannot quite tell you why.

Part of it might be because I have been at peace lately about where my life is going. I am so blessed and I am starting to realize exactly how blessed. I have awesome parents that raised me to be the woman I am today and will further grow into being, they have provided me with a college education, and continue to love me no matter what I do. I have a sister who needs and wants love shown to her from me. Sisters have a unique bond and I have come to realize how strong that can/should be in my life.

I have started to worry a lot less lately. Since I have not been worrying, things seem to be falling into place. I have generally been a lot happier than I have been up here at college. I am starting to get my studies under control. And surprisingly I am not stressed about finals next week. Yes I am nervously anticipating them but God has given me the peace that if I just study this week and really understand the concepts I will do fine. And the nice reward comes at the end: laying around at home with my family & my dog for twelve whole days.

Usually with life's highs there will always come lows. Considering the spiritual and emotional state I am in right now, I feel as though I can get through those lows with the same attitude I have now; realizing that God would not put me up to any challenge that I am not capable of overcoming. With His strength and guidance, all things are possible.
