Proverbs 18:14-15

So yesterday, the task oriented individual that I am was faced with a challenging decision to make: take care of my physical state and go to bed early or take care of my emotional state by having fun until God-knows-when. I was feeling quite physically and emotionally drained yesterday but I was also aware that I had not had a good time with friends (away from schoolwork) in a long time and felt my heart state being very low and restless.
 I expect that for many, making this kind of decision would have been easy to make, but to me, it was a hard one. I was really torn between reasonability and fun. And so, I resorted to turn to good old Proverbs for advice... I don't usually just randomly pick a verse from the Bible for instantaneous counsel but yesterday seemed to share the exact advice I was hoping for. Here is what I found:

 ¹⁴ The human spirit can endure a sick body,
      but who can bear a crushed spirit?

 ¹⁵ Intelligent people are always ready to learn.
      Their ears are open for knowledge. (NLT)

And so, there you go. I went out with girlfriends yesterday and care for what seemed to be the wellness of my heart instead of my body. I decided to try something unconventional to my habit. Result?? I had a great time, went to bed in early morning, AND woke up today g way more rested and alert than what I would have hoped, ready to attack school again. Funny how things work out sometimes. Is this a life lesson or simply a circumstantial hazard? I guess only time will tell.

Until next time!
