On the brain...

I've had a lot of things swirling around in my brain recently. Things being thoughts...which obviously swirl. Life is moving fast, and I've been finding it hard to keep up with everything going on. I've been thinking about...

how i should stop eating gummy worms until my tummy hurts
how i should start exercising to balance out gummy worm eating
how much i love all of the friends we've made here
how much i miss my friends and family far away
how we need to raise 6,000 for missions trip this summer (more on this later)
how excited i am for the trip this summer
how i should practice piano more...
how much i want to be a good gardener
how i've already managed to kill one of our plants

To be honest, I feel quite overwhelmed by life right now. There are a few big things that we're trying to figure out right now. The kind of things that make you wish you weren't a grown up but just 8 years old again, swimming at the lake....and only your homework to worry about.

But this I know to be true-
"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Phil 4:6-7

And so, although my tummy feels gummy and my head feels full, I pray to know more peace. And I am thankful for the many blessings in my life.
