Ahh Case Competition. Team 18 is freaking amazing. We have made it to the desired final round. However, we are in turmoil. Why? because for some reason, we can't see to get a long. right when it matters the most. So much frustration. So much anger. So much selfish glory desired for what? So much cockiness. So much pride. Why can't we just get along? We're all frustrated, but in the end, we need to work together to win. I just don't get it. With all this rage, there's only one thing that can possibly calm me down. God.
Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Colossians 2:13-14

I have defintely slacked off this year. Slacked off too much and now i am feeling the effects. The stress to catch up, to study and potentially come up to my previous standard. Its hard work, but i need to do it. Because I have continued to tell myself that when push comes to shove and the work actually matters, I can pull through. I just need to see that happen now. My laziness can actually be a sin now that i realize it. Im not working to my full potential. My full potential that God has granted me with. I've taken the privilege of attending university for granted. I've taken the fact that I have a good life for granted. I don't work as hard as I can and for that I have paid with the fact that i am no good in one thing. I could have been great. My slothfulness and my negligence to do my work as a student is a sin. A sin. Because I am not working for God.
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men. Colossians 3:23

as the year comes to a close I will reflect on the one thing that has made me feel somewhat successful this year. Skating. Surprisingly, the one thing that I thought I hated. the one thing that i wanted to give up so many times. The one I have pained and cried over oh so many times, is the one thing that has brought me joy this year. To be on top again. To have that feeling once again. Its a thrill that I miss and have come to enjoy. The reason I have done anything well in my life is because of that thrill and skating has once again brought me that. With this in mind, I will quote Kim M. when she says "the possiblities are endless" I've never really thought of that as true until now. There's so many things I can do and want to do and I just need to narrow the choices down. Expand my horizons. The future is bright if I wish it to be.
