c'est la vie




dead week has officially begun.
three papers. two english finals. two weeks.
I get these moments where I'm so overwhelmed.
and then I'm reminded of one of my mom's favorite phrases.

life is life.
it'll go on whether or not you're ready for it.
so all that's left to do is to deal with things as they come.

one step at a time
there's no need to rush
it's like learning to fly
or falling in love
it's gonna happen and it's supposed to happen
that we find the reasons why
one step at a time

gotta slow things down.
step by step.
one by one.

------ update

so after I wrote this post, I went to class, where I found out that the deadline for one of my papers has been postponed to next week!
it's just so crazy, because even in these little (but totally awesome) ways, God finds it in his heart to give me comfort and to give heed to my worries and anxieties.
it's like His magnificent way of telling me to look beyond the narrow scope of life that I find myself peering through.

when you put all faith in God,
you get more than you bargain for.

I stand in absolute awe of You.
