It was hard to wake up this morning especially after a long weekend, but I made it to work by 7:30AM, took my sociology midterm when I got home and started to review some words for the GRE. I can't wait til July 21 comes and goes because then I will be freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

It's easy to lose sight of the ultimate goal. The finish line is clouded by the things of the moment--tests, friends, work, sleep. It's always good to come back to this. To be reminded that this world isn't about me and my accomplishments. It isn't about what I can and cannot do. It's freeing to know that grace has covered me and there is nothing more I can do to add on to the good news.

O, say can you see! By the dawns early light!
Haha that's one of the many beautiful photos I was able to capture at Coronado during fourth of July. It was so so nice because there were 4 of the same show going on at the same time. The light reflects off the buildings and the water making it extra sparkly. We had a good view and we had good company (Brad, John, Jeannette)! Earlier today JJ and his house held a BBQ for everyone and earlier that day Esther and I made mac and cheese to take to the potluck. I think it turned out successful, don't you? Even earlier that day Elsie, Esther and I took a practice GRE test and geez, I don't feel prepared. Bleh but it's okay. I was reminded this morning to set my eyes on Jesus, to remember that this world and the things in it is not for my own glory but for His and...He is well pleased with me :)
