*Sigh*

ERGH!
I just want to be able to write what is going on in head. But I can't even type right. There is so much going on, and I'm not even at home right now. I guess that makes sense, but it doesn't. My brain is overloaded. When that happens, I can't sleep. Guess who hasn't been sleeping well for a month? Yes, this girl *points to self*
I wish I could think of a kewl analogy to put in right here. But I already told you, my brain doesn't work.

All day long I've been receiving emails about the first test we took in one of my summer classes. This girl has beef with the teacher because our teacher set up something wrong for the first test. So basically, we didn't have enough time to take the test. It's the whole ordeal, and it's stupid, in my opinion. I didn't do terrible on the test. The teacher gave us all 5 pts. extra and I think that is sufficient.
There are children who didn't get to eat today. But this girl thinks it's more important that she gets a good grade.
I get that grades are important. And I try to keep my grades high. But really, some things in life are just not worth wasting time on.

I feel like, in our society, very few understand the value of a person. There is little thought about what people like, or how they feel or what is going on in their lives. Every single day I am struck by how people live. I love getting to hear people's stories. I love hearing about their adventures, sadness, joy and everything in between. But too often, we forget that that is why we were put on this earth. We are here for relationship.

I have had friendships that have ended and I didn't think there would be any restoration. That has been proven wrong only a few times. But this week, I've seen it.

God has an incredibly awesome plan for my life. I see it unfold all day, every day. It's overwhelming, at times. But it shows the abundant love and grace that God showers on me.

He has an amazing plan for you, as well. A plan that you can never know. A plan that takes shape in ways that you might not realize. But it is there. And God is directing it.

When he is in charge, it goes exactly according to his plan. So trust him. He knows what he's doing.
