stressy mcstresser smith...

Monday. March 2. The sun is shining and i could not ask for a better or more pleasant day in baton rouge. I started listening to shane and shane again today. I don't know why. My lack of community since I have been here has been such a challenge in my every day life. I think listening to them has been really encouraging today. Not forgetting there is a deeper and mesmerizing beauty in everything around me. The simple human connection from one person to the next..or the connection man has to nature is something to rejoice and dance about. I haven't really laughed joyfully in a long time. I want to have joy in all aspects of my life. To not feel so weighed down by the troubles the world brings to us day in and day out. Im incredibly stressed about school but there are so many more important things to consume my mind with..good things. Less of me is more of jesus. There is glory in the cross. Help me find my gain in loss.
