Can this be possible?
Yes, it must be, if I'm to assume that my every action can be performed in an attitude of prayer. Here's the deal. I'm entirely unmotivated to write these three final papers....so if I tell myself it is a viable form of seeking God, maybe I will find motivation?
Ha- okay, I will let you know exactly 2 weeks from now if it worked. My final papers are all due 2 weeks from now, and I lack nearly all motivation to write them. Several of the thoughts are in my head already (well, for two...the other one is gonna be sheer sweat and blood)...but putting them on paper is always the most difficult.
In other areas of life, however, I have experienced more success. I finished my photo album from the wedding, finally. I have gathered my energies and figured out Xmas gifts for family members. I have added a few decor items to our apartment recently. And I have thoroughly enjoyed spending time with AJ since he returned from his 11 day hiatus... Although he is gone again, this time only for a few days.
I honestly don't have too much to say. I need to write papers- so if I can request a massive helping of your prayers, I will. I know that's a little selfish when so many children and adults alike experience horrendous life situations...and here I am in my privileged position of study, thinking I have it so hard. Geez, someday I might get over myself. :)
Thanks for tuning in to this rather boring post. I am sending my love and cheer on this brisk December evening. May the love of God surround you like a warm fuzzy blanket!

Emily - I know what it feels like to be 2 weeks out with lots left to do and zero motivation. My advice, take one thing at a time. Let the accomplishment of one paper push you into the next and remember that all this hard work is worth it. I'm proud of you and what you are doing. :) -Katie
ReplyDeleteI am right there with you. Finals season has a tendency to suck the joy right out of my holiday season. It's so sad to me that the two are joined. The only thing that's getting me through the next 2 weeks is the promise that next year (and every year after that) my Christmas season will be about Christmas. Not #2 pencils and word counts and crying in the bathroom because I know nothing (not that I've ever done that last part.). :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck dear friend!
Thanks so much, Ladies. It's reassuring to know that you are right with me on this, especially through personal experience! Love you- Em
