yesterday was a little rough. there are so many different things to balance, & I can so easily begin to rely on my own strength. people told me leading up to law school that they wished they'd had more balance during law school, instead of spending all their time in the library. **no thank you** their suggestions have been to get involved in a Bible study, eat right, continue exercising, etc. the things that they listed are more non-negotiables in my life to continue to have. I am not one that can just do one thing for that long of a period of time. BUT over the past few months, I have been praying that these three years would not be a waste, that they would count for something, that I would be able to look back on these three years the way I have the past three years. that sounds really great, until about the second day of orientation (yesterday), when I began to become a little overwhelmed at all that I will have to do for school. it would be easy to default into study mode & become a hermit. it would be easy to keep people at an arm's length away instead of really diving in & building deep relationships with people. but real, full life is never in the easy. it's tempting in a way, but I've also tasted of what real, full life is & there is nothing like it! so, here's to taking the time to building deep relationships, not relying on my own strength, & keeping balance throughout all of life.
