Nastiness

I despise being sick.

And since I started school last fall, I have been getting sick more often. I think it's been at least 3 times. Not fun. At all.

I suppose a large part of it is the stress of being in school fulltime and working what often feels like fulltime, even though (by hours at least) it's not. Life can be so overwhelming at times, especially when I feel I'm being pulled in a million directions and stretched a bit thin.

The most important thing I'm realizing is that I need to be sure I am putting my time into the things that really matter most to me...my relationship with God, with Nathan, my friends, and family. The rest is just temporary and doesn't matter as much as the relationships I spend time on (though the rest is often still important). I just need to remember that I don't have to try to be perfect, because that's fruitless. I just need to be faithful in being the person God created me to be and not worry so much about everything else.
