Wow...and then Friday came. A 10 page was paper finished, a new record was set for functioning during the day with the least amount of sleep possible, absolutely no reading was done for any of her classes, and there was rehearsals almost every night, and still it came. Friday. Today.
Days felt like a glimpse in time because there simply wasn't enough time for her. Her director had skillfully scheduled the mid-semster tour during a mid-term and a 10 page paper, and had ended it the week of Homecoming Spectacular which she knew would most definitely finish her off.
There were days when she felt like she was in a whole in the ground that progressively got deeper by the minute. No amount of struggling or yelling at the top of her lungs would do her any good, no one cared that she needed to get out of the whole to finish the tasks that needed to be done that day, no one. These days she was just stuck.
But little by little she did it. She very slowly and not without a couple falls, made her way out of the hole. Thankfully the people who she was trying to please gave her a hand or two in one way or another. These same people who were creating the stress with which she was feeling, got down from their stool and helped her out.
There were tender mercies felt, and tears shed.
Faith
Patience
Trust
She finally made it. There was a way out and with some help she found it.
