A discovery of Joy

Today officially marks my countdown to all the events I look forward to this month.

-3 days left of classes
-2 weeks until EMC Christmas celebration
-2 weeks and one day until NEAC first December baptism (from what I know of)
-15 days until all my exams/school is officially done and a list of celebrations begin!
-21 days until Christmas is here and a joyous week post Christmas =)

I'm overjoyed just thinking about all these dates. My festive spirit backfires though, because when I'm excited and hyped up, I tend to be counter productive and only want to do things that appeals to me, and not school-related stuff. Calm down girl! You need to get through school BEFORE all the feasting, decorating, celebrating etc!

These days, I've been finding joy in serving God. My latest task is planning the EMC Christmas celebration with two fellow SICs. Sometimes, it feels as if were getting nothing done, other times, I wish our planning would never end. I think I can confirm that I have the gift of planning and organizing events. At one point, I wanted to be a wedding planner (you can actually be one over the course of a weekend o.O and it actually be a practical 'diploma' to have under your belt). Anyhow, that's besides the point. I just feel I have a constant creative engine running in my head and for the most part, is cranking up innovative ideas. But in some moments, I tend to squish myself into the shoes of a leader too much and forget that others' are able to fit into them too (Stop me when I'm a shoe hogger please!)

Right now, I highly enjoy what I'm doing and I praise God for that. Its a blessing to realize this trait of mine and acknowledge the capabilities I have to serve Him. I hope that in the future I am able to have a career that reflects this aspect of mine too(another topic for me to explore some day).

May this season brings new discoveries for you too.


Joy to the World
