Grace carried me here and by the grace I will carry on

The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
He leads me beside quiet waters,
He refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.

- Psalm 23

2 days before the final exam and somehow God reminds me this. I lack nothing. I have ENOUGH motivation, determination, and spirit to carry on, not because of what I've done, but because of who He is. God already refreshes my soul, no matter how I feel right now. And I don't have to be afraid whether this road is wrong or not, because He guides me, and it's all for the glory of His name.

THIS TOO SHALL PASS AND I GOTTA FINISH THIS WELL :)

Meaning

Wake up every morning
It’s the same old day again
But you don’t give a thought to why you’re living

Going through the motions, 
just do your work and go
So that you can survive another day
But is this the way you should be living?
For if your work is torn away, what is your meaning?

I dare you, take a step back and say you like what you see
Take a break from routine to think
But you can’t think of anything
So you dig your hole deeper and bury your questions inside

If you acknowledge what you do not know 
it could shatter your fragile world
But aren’t you tired of being trapped behind the glass 
knowing things could be better than this

This is not the way you should be living
I love you so much, I want to share this world that I live in
Take My hand and let go of your plans and trust me 
that you’d never fall, I’d catch you
and when you feel lost, I’ll remind you who you are
And you are the one I love, I gave everything for you

Walk next to Me and you’ll find meaning
Walk next to Me and you’ll find meaning

It hurts that you hide away
and choose to keep your guard up
But I won’t force you to choose Me 

Just remember that I will always be waiting for you to let me in
And I will grieve if you never do
