This semester's work load has been absolutely brutal! It feels like I can never catch a break. This last week, and my next two weeks are going to be chalked full of homework, studying for midterms, and writing papers. I have learned with time that one of my very favorite things to do when I need time away from school is to take a hot bath and listen to a podcast or general conference talk. This week I was talking to my mother- in- law and she told me about a podcast so I decided to set aside an hour on Thursday night and take care of my self.
The podcast titled "don't be defined by your mistakes" was by a Christian speaker named Joel Osteen. I loved the message Joel shared, and felt stress lofted off of my shoulders as I was reminded that God is forgiving and has a plan for me. I am so thankful for media and specifically podcasts for the way that they speak to me and make me feel. I love gaining knowledge through this type of media.
Man, this coming week is going to be killer for me too! I need to remind myself that it's okay to take a break sometimes. I may even look into that podcast! Thanks for sharing!
