End of Fall Semester

I am so glad that finals are over.  Though it was a great semester, there were some tough moments, especially studying for finals.  Senioritis didn`t kick in too much but it tempt me.

During my time of studying, Saint Julian of Norwich came to my mind.  In one of her prayers, she said, " Prayer fastens the soul to God, making it one with his will through the deep inward working of the Holy Spirit. So he says this, 'Pray inwardly, even though you feel no joy in it. For it does good, though you feel nothing, see nothing, yes, even though you think you cannot pray. For when you are dry and empty, sick and weak, your prayers please me, though there be little enough to please you. All believing prayer is precious in my sight.' God accepts the good-will and work of his servants, no matter how we feel."

In essence, this prayer gave me a way to both look at my frail human state.  Though I may feel down at times, God is there for us, "no matter how we feel".  For this fact alone, I am glad.
