I've been a little behind lately on my Bible readings. Last I've posted, I was reading Hebrews and I only managed to read the last chapter today. There are only 13 chapters and it has been more than 13 days since I started reading Hebrews.
Much has been happening and I've realized that I have a hard time transitioning between school and work terms. The end of a school term just comes so abruptly that it catches me off guard. One day I am intensely studying for exams and the next day I write it and it's all over. Then I go home and relax, doing nothing for a few days and then come back to work life. I have to start waking up super early, struggle to stay awake for 9 hours, and then find something to do until bedtime. That's just the physical and partial mental change.
There is also an emotional change that comes with social change. My friends leave and some other friends come back. I have to reconnect with the people that I've lost touch with or didn't really get a chance to hang out with while we weren't in the same city. I miss the ones that are off doing something else, but am glad to see the ones that are back.
This is my fourth week of work starting tomorrow and I am only just starting to feel like I've settled into my new workplace. I started to get to know my coworkers a bit better and have more responsibilities/tasks to do. I have started to get into a routine (almost) of waking up at 7am every morning, and trying to sleep early (by 11pm). It's hard adjusting. But when I think about it, I can't believe I've already made it one month in. I feel like this term is almost over but it's only just begun.
In another 4 weeks I will be going off to China and then when I get back there will only be another 4 weeks left of work. Then I will be back in school and everything will change and I will have to readjust again.
This makes me feel like I really need to make the most out of the next 4 weeks before I go. I want to meet up with a lot of people who are back now and keep in touch with those that aren't around. I want to improve my guitar skills, volunteer, read a bunch of books, cook, and bake a lot. There are so many things I want to do but I don't know how I'll be able to do them all.
Anyway, I'm not sure how this post relates to this passage from Hebrews I wanted to share, but here it is:

Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said,
"Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."
So we say with confidence,
"The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?"
(Hebrews 13:5-6)
