Fall: It's The Most Exhausting Time Of Year

There is a reason for every season, and I know that after this season of exhaustion something amazing will come out of it.

Fall semester is starting to get the best of me. Classwork is stacking up high, and due dates are lingering. I have been trying to find an equal balance of school and rest lately, but there has been no rest to be found. Every night I am up late, trying to get stuff accomplished without losing my mind.

Not being in the Word every day has had a really big impact on the ways that my days end. I lay in bed at night knowing that I need to be active in order to stay energized and motivated to do school. But I have noticed that by the time my days are over I am too tired to do anything, especially sit down and read my bible.

I am starting to crash slowly, and losing the motivation to do things I love the most. Working through this is something that I have had to do before, but it isn't fun to go through. The feeling of tiredness and lack of motivation is so hard to beat. I am constantly trying to find time to rest, and take time for myself away from school, but when I am away from school, I am always focused on what I need to be doing.

This semester is finally almost over, and I am hoping and praying that I can continue to beat this feeling of being drained and enjoy everything that the Lord is doing in my life lately. He is continually working in my life and allowing amazing things to happen, and it is important to not overlook what He is doing.

There is a reason for every season, and I know that after this season of exhaustion something amazing will come out of it. I trust He will provide where He leads me.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
