Life has Up's and Down's--God is a straight Line

So this is kind of an update since I have not written for a while. These past few weeks has been have up and downs to say the least, from carrying other friends burdens, to having crazy midterm weeks and not really having a reading break, its been a hard time.
I have decided that after basically not doing homework for two nights, I think this was more of a normal relaxing week then reading week was. So I took my reading week this week, which was rather nice considering what had occurred.
The frustrating that comes with relaxing is my immune system has finally kicked into gear, the means I am sick. Never a good thing when school is still occurring.

In the midst of all this craziness I have been to observe a few things that have really encouraged me to keep going. I was talking to a few people about how they we so upset that either they have not been getting the marks that they need or that they have not been looking the same way that they once did. Many of these people have based themselves on these things, either their appearance, marks or anything else. Don't get me wrong, I definitely have found my self falling into that trap. Basing myself on something that will eventually fade away or unpredictable.

Recently though I have been thinking a lot of about my identity and how it is actually in Christ. So at the end of the day, no matter how frustrated I get with my marks, my looks or even what my body is doing I can know that

GOD HAS STAYED THE SAME

and that in Him I can find myself.

I hope that other people can do the same, go to him and find themselves in the one who stays the same. That way rather then going to bed at night and wondering what is going on I can go to bed knowing that God is good and someway somehow I can and will get through this. Praise him!
