Things sure were stressful. Her grades were not where she wanted them, nor her room clean, nor other things that caused her heart to beat faster as the thought about them. Oy vey!
Yet she knew she was so blessed.
A walk with a friend full of laughter and comaraderie felt more fun than a roller coaster ride.
Talking to others who shared her dream inspired her and got her excited.
Dear friends made her laugh, made her cry, and made her feel lucky to have them in her life.
God's faithfulness usually brought tears to her eyes. Just when she was down, He would send a message through one of her friends or acquaintances, or through mail. He was faithful in many other ways too. Knowing there was more ahead made her feel like a child on Christmas Eve.
God used her to do that for people she knew sometimes, too-- it humbled her and made her feel honored that God had used her. Little tiny and messy, imperfect and flawed, Just Jane. How good was God to team up with her. It was unfathomable. Lord!
She hadn't earned this love and never could. But that is God! He functions in generosity, mercy, and grace!
Oy vey! Why not? She told her friends, "Merry Christmas!" when they entered the study lounge! They only chuckled, and the group did homework into the wee hours of the night.
