Mojo Monday

"Ok where did this chick find FLOWERS in the midst of this snow?" -you right now

Yup, she's got her season mixed up

This is my fifth Monday off.

Yup, I have yet to have a full week of class.

The snow is falling out my window and our snow stock piles around campus just keep growing by the week & inch.

Cooped up in my room with all of campus shut down is well—it's a debbie downer.

I've got that cabin fever.

 So I felt a little bit nostalgic about spring today, hence the throwbacks to sunshine colored tulips (my favorite), bunnies and Easter eggs, and legs out for days.

But there's not much more I can do but be wishing, waiting & wanting for that spring smell in the air to arrive—so I brought back my Monday Mojo for us to work up some energy to fight through this snowy time.

The snow might be a bump in the road...or a mountain if you've seen Boston lately...but obstacles and troubles are expected—aren't they?

The answer is yesss.

It's up to us to lift ourselves up & out of our mopey, dopey mood pit and stay positive, look ahead and face our challenges head on—knowing that there is something better for us at the end of maybe a different road, maybe not exactly the one we had in mind to go down.

When we know the Lord our promises are held true & have eternal value.

& that's just a dang beautiful thing let me add in there. 

In my 19 (21 days till 20 !!) years I've tripped over an innumerable number of bumps in my road.

I have learned—through trial & error & personal experience—that truly the best thing to do is to stand back up, and look ahead but before continuing on, turn to God for His guidance.

Wouldn't you want the insight from the mighty mapmaker & road-builder Himself?! 

I have a little tidbit take away for ya before I have to go and who knows—laundry, coffee, then gym? 

Def not homework—hulllloo it's a snow day.

I will never stop helping you. 

Be Strong & Brave.

Don't ever be afraid or doubt!

For I am with you wherever you go."
