I feel so contented right now. Even though there is so much going on in my life, I feel peaceful and confident that everything will turn out fine. God has given me so many wonderful blessings. I feel the joy bubbling out of me like a fountain. I want to shout to the world and tell everyone how happy I am! I have been so blessed! God has given me so many friends, and I'm especially grateful for the few that I treasure the most. I can just feel God's goodness today. I'm on the top of the mountan!

This past week has been an uphill struggle. So many times I've been so frustated. So many times I've cried while trying desperately to understand chemistry problems. Struggling to stay awake. Wresting with insecure thoughts.

But now, all the anguish has disappeared, and I've almost forgotten how stressed I have been. It's not as though all my problems have suddenly been solved. My problems are still here. But for some reason, today they seem so insignificant. Yes, I've failed yet another chemistry quiz. But what does that count for in eternity?

God loves me so much, and I am his beloved child. What else in life really matters?

From Psalm 73:

"25 Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing I desire besides you.

26 My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.

27 Those who are far from you will perish;
you destroy all who are unfaithful to you.

28 But as for me, it is good to be near God.
I have made the Sovereign LORD my refuge;
I will tell of all your deeds."
