sophomore day #87

wow.

This week can be described as nothing other than delirious.

The past two weeks since my last post were a whirlwind, and crazy enough, God revealed Himself in so many ways. In the beginning, just subtly. But this week: I can ascribe the events only to Christ.

GOD SIGHTINGS, because that's just what they were.

1. My Global Business Analysis course is not a class of analyzing global business. I cannot tell you anything I've really learned other than a. MINDSET and ATTITUDE are the TWO KEY ASPECTS of SUCCESS! and b. REVENUE and STOCK PRICE are the most common company measures of success but they are the TWO WORST INDICATORS! Read it with the caps. 
I don't often doodle, but that "class" is conducive for idle doodling. As I try to think of all the different flowers I can draw, I have this revelation of how much of an artist God is. But not only is God the greatest artist, He's the greatest musician with all the songs of birds, the greatest engineer with all the forms of the world, the greatest author of all our stories. His story. How INCREDIBLE is that?

Psalm 104 

Verse 24: How many are your works, Lord!  In wisdom you made them all;  the earth is full of your creatures.

2. I talked to K earlier this week and his story is pretty crazy, and so encouraging. I summarize by saying that God accomplishes amazing things, and He works in all our lives.

3. This past week. I recap by saying: delirious. 
Monday: From 11 PM - 4 AM I worked on our Target report for my Business Communications class. Tuesday: My team and I worked from 6 PM - 3 AM, pausing to eat breadsticks and cinnapies from Papa Johns and roll around on the ground from brain pain and exhaustion.
Wednesday: We worked from 7 PM - 4 AM. No food, but a spontaneous game of ninja about midnight. 
We worked another three hours on Thursday before submitting. I'm avoiding spending time in Kelley as much as possible for as long as I can now.

Crazy right? But the whole time we worked, I never felt stressed, worried, or overwhelmed. Even when we experienced a blackout and needed to recover the file, even when Word crashed hours later and we could only recover a corrupted file, even when it was 3:00 AM Wednesday Thursday morning. It was this surreal peace and patience and comfort that overwhelmed me. I couldn't even try to feel stressed or worried. Yes, I slept very little and yes, I was exhausted, but I was at peace, and I knew I could trust the Lord.

And even now as my laptop's motherboard failed and I must use other computers to finish our presentation (and write this post) I know everything is going to be okay. Reminder for peace and trust for my 35% Intermediate Microeconomic Theory Exam and Target Presentation this week. And hey, only 7 days till I go home ♥.
Side note: it was so good getting to skype the chenfam on Wednesday evening to wish Timmy a happy birthday :3 I am so blessed.

One of my favorite verses:

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7

THE END.
