Question marks...Part 2

I feel like I should re-post "Question marks"...this happens way too often...a new idea or a new opportunity that captures my attention and makes me try to plan again. I know you are my planner Lord, you are in control of my life. Lately, I've been thinking of going to graduate school! I've looked online at the details and the possibility has gotten me really excited. I only want graduate school in my life Lord, if that's your plan. Father, thank you for my creativity and my imagination but sometimes, it can really go wild. When this happens, I lie awake at night and can't sleep just thinking about what will happen next in my life. Why do I always feel like I have to know all the answers about my future? And why do I always feel shortchanged in my relationship because we're not engaged or married? Lord, help me to settle down, to calm my heart and my anxiousness. I don't have to grow up so fast. Lord, help me to enjoy each and everyday. Thank you for my precious friend, Sarah! She is such a blessing to me Lord. I pray that you will bless our friendship for many years to come.

"Come to me all you who are weary and I will give you rest."- Jesus

I am already growing weary. Each of my classes have daily assignments and I feel like I am doing all I can do just to stay on top of things. This coming weekend is much needed. I need rest. I am enjoying learning and the opportunity to do so but it's becoming really draining already. Lord please give me strength to do all I do as if it's only for you and your glory.

School Starts Tomorrow!

Thank you so much Father for how you have already blessed me this year. Thank you for my new job and my new friends, for Sing Alliance, and for my new classes. I pray Lord that everything I work at this semester that I will work with complete diligence as if I am only working for you. Lord, I pray that in the midst of all my business, that I do not forget who you are. You are my provider Lord, my comforter, and my friend!

I have really been blessed this holiday season. Time is running out and I am sad. I feel like I have not spent my time wisely some days. All I really want to do is spend time with family and friends! But..I only have until Sunday night, then I am leaving on Monday! I am excited that school will be starting soon and that I am going to be working at the bookstore! Last night was fun and I was really proud of the decisions that Blake and I made about drinking. In the morning, it's just not worth it! The fireworks were beautiful and the fellowship was fun! Happy New Year!
