I realized today that I dont recognize when I am feeling stressed, but people around me do. I found I show it in one of two ways. Apparently I get a little crazy with cleaning and doing dishes and organizing. I feel the drive to organize some part of my life, and the tangible seems the easiest thing to reach for. I also get really creative- like today of all days I started a new project for window treatments in my room, or i made a banner of all the finals i have so I can get the satisfaction of pulling each one down as I take them. (See picture below).
In college, my roomates would tell you that during the most stressful part of the year, I spent hours making intricate paper snowflakes. (again, see below).
Last night I went to small group, which is always so wonderful. I'm so glad God has given me a place in Nashville that I sit by a real live fire, and talk to people who know me and love me, and feel at home. The night before Sarah and Chironna and I went to a Christmas concert at Lipscomb. It was beautiful, and it made me homesick for wheaton's christmas concert. Music truly is magical in how it can lift your spirits and convey so much emotion.
Well, I don't think there's any particular reason for this post, except nobody's on skype and its too late to call people. :-) And this is my blog, and i dont have to have a coherent post if I dont want to. so there you go internet.
