thunderstorm thoughts.

QT never fails to amaze me and yet i constantly leave it to the last and then feel guilty. don't get me wrong.. it's not an obligation.. it's called obedience - something that follows if you really trust, love and believe.

I’ve heard thunderstorms in my head, and maybe you have too. It happens when a tragedy occurs—to us, to someone close to us, or to someone we hear about in the news. Our minds become a tempest of “what if” questions. We focus on all the possible bad outcomes. Our fear, worry, and trust in God fluctuate as we wait, we pray, we grieve, and we wonder what the Lord will do. we can find moments of peace when we’re anchored to the truth that He’s in the boat with us and He cares.
while i've been wavering here and there, i'm glad that encouragement has entered my life in a different kind of way. the joy is immense.

the stress of school and pressures of life are all starting to get the better of us. thunderstorm thoughts fill my whirling mind daily, no matter how much fatigue has gotten into me. short tempers, long bouts of moodiness - they never used to bother me... until now. brain cells seem to deplete every second and you just miss the loveable people who add joy.

awards&promos really proved the bond 0908 shared, how we've just held our hands to tide over trials and as a batch overcome those onerous obstacles. as we've progressed from ACOs to COs, we're now one year older, one rank higher, one notch up in maturity, one level more of expectations placed on our shoulders. and as we face the challenges of dreadful academic life, the friendship we share negates it all. i've never felt greater camaraderie than when with this group of amazing people - seniors, juniors, batchmates - we all share one passion. that, my friend, is the glue that binds us together in spite of all our differences.

to realize the worth of the anchor, we need to feel the stress of the storm.
