Gasp.
New post?
I think I'm returning this blog to what it was before I went abroad - a place for lots of venting and frustration in the midst of Penn's craziness.
I'm really sad that I never got around to updating the rest of my study abroad craziness... BUT! I'm returning to LA this coming Friday for Spring Break and there is hope that I will (finally) get around to posting pictures and stories from abroad, although they'd most likely be in an abridged version.
I can't remember why I opened my blog (and this blogpost) right now, but excuse the confused jumble of thoughts that might come out from reading the rest of this post.
I think this semester has confirmed just how quickly our lives can change within a matter of
Friendships have been broken, mended, and broken again. Same mistakes have occurred, even after vowing not to repeat. There have been lots of happiness and new developments on a variety of levels. My return to Penn was definitely not a smooth ride thus far.
It's surprising how quickly we can adapt to change. Recalling back to last year around this time, I realized that so much has changed - within myself, in my relationships with others, in my walk with God. And once again, I'm realizing that what really matters is perspective.
There was a moment last week when I thought quite depressingly about how quickly things have changed, and how we virtually have no control over what's going to happen to us next - then I realized that I could really turn that around and instead be super excited over what God has in store for me in the next few
And He remains so everlasting, my constant, my rock, my redeemer.
Once again, I'm learning that I can only hold onto Him in this ever-changing world.
