Something I have learned, over the past 2 or 3 years, is that people are the most important.
More than homework, more than sleep, more than tv or anything else to take up my time, my relationships with other people are the most important. Sure it's sometimes frustrating when you have planned to take a nap or study or "me time", but overall, you'll realize, and you'll most likely be glad, that you spent that extra minute or hour talking with someone. And you'll look back and realize that losing that hour or so of sleep really wasn't that big of a deal. Jesus loves people, and He calls us to do the same. We are to love them to Him. And He gives us the grace to do it with His love.
I am so grateful for His love and grace that gets me through each day. :)

I have officially decided that autumn is my most favorite season.
The trees, I just love the trees. So beautiful.
I'm at Panera now, and I'm trying to study for a test I have to take online in half an hour. ButI made the mistake of sitting by the window and I can hardly keep my eyes away from the trees. Most of them have just a few brown crumpled leaves still attached, but there are a few that are completely yellow. So beautiful.
Another reason why autumn is my favorite is because coffeeshops bring out their best coffee flavors in autumn - autumn spice, pumpkin spice, harvest spice, etc. They're all delicious. Panera actually has their Christmas stuff out now, which includes a gingerbread latte, which goes right along with the spice ones. Which, honestly, is a little bit of heaven in my mouth.
So anyway, its a beautiful day, I just enjoyed a beautiful drink, and this has been a lovely break, so now I must study.
