Just a handful of days left before it’s time to go back to school. Winter break literally flew. I mean of course I saw it coming, but it really went by too quickly and I definitely didn’t get to do everything that I wanted, but I think it went as well as it could have.
A solid three weeks of being away from campus, as much as I love it, was so necessary. Just the comfort of being home, having my own bed (but not gonna lie my bed at school was not too too off!), having my own room, having my family around, and being able to eat suum guud fuud, m y h e a r t p e r i o d. Hahaha
But I think the majority of this break, I spent the most time with my church friends, which was insanely amazing and I really feel blessed to be surrounded and encouraged by such a tight knit group. Retreat after retreat, I got to know not only the younger ones in youth group better but also those within my own age range. I realized how valuable it is to spend time outside of church. All you can really do at church is say hello and have a little conversation at best. But having to see then all day, worshipping alongside them, and just a lot of time of fellowship really taught me and showed me a lot.
One thing I’ve heard one too many times during this break was, “You look so zen. Just so happy like you got your life all under control.”
HAaaaaa I wishhhhhhh. Actually, for the most part, I feel super rested, mentally and physically. I’m so thankful for everyone who made my first winter break from college super memorable, unforgettable, and I can keep saying that I wish this break were a little, just a tad longer and I can probably wish that it would go on forever LOL, but it will soon be time to go back.
I’m looking forward to going back to the routine of things. Definitely, I’ve been a lot lazier, having adopted the mindset of rest and relaxation for the past couple of weeks, but I think it was very very necessary. A chance to relax and take things a little easier with nothing to worry about.
Super thankful for all the time I had, the chance to see some of my high school friends, the two weeks to be on retreat with my church friends, and just the hours of rest and chilling :)
For we live by faith, not by sight.

Matthew 11:28-30
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
Definitely the first verse that came to mind as I started to write this post! Really, our main source of rest and restoration comes from Him and Him alone, never forget!
