Well, it has been a month since I kissed the freedom of summer goodbye and the harsh reality of grad school has been served on a platter. It has been quite the learning curve, and for anyone who knows me, knows I am usually up for any challenge and love going to school. Now, I think I still love it, but my perspectives have changed, and I just have to get used to the new way of doing things. It has not quite been smooth sailing. Instead, it has been more like being in a tiny sailboat during tsunami-force winds with dry land being in the distance. I know this is only temporary, but it is a lot to process and adapt to the ever-changing and fast-paced rigor. All week I struggled with facing the challenges head-on and making the most of them. But, in the midst of me thinking I had to take on the world and succeed on the first try, every Bible verse or song or devotion was pointing to the very things that would help me the most. Life is an uphill battle, and there will be storms and mountains. Last week was a storm, but after every storm, there is a rainbow. And that promise is a reminder that when we are faithful, strength will conquer. I admittedly have not reached the top of my mountain yet, but there is time to take this journey in strides. I have to keep reminding myself to remain constant and that the prevailing mantra to help me stay grounded is faith over fear. Stay Curious, Kayla ©Inquisitive Perspectives 2018
