thoughts from the beginning.

There is a lot to be said for living "a day at a time."

Things like:

"Praise God - I'd be dying if I wasn't."
and
"How did I survive previously when I thought thinking a month at a time was being responsible?"
and
"Your grace truly is enough for me."

Life is ever full at the moment but Jesus is ever present - there is truly nothing else I could ask for. Work is pleasant, which is something I often take for granted before remembering that an environment such as this one is oftentimes, unfortunately, the exception, not the rule, and an incredible blessing. School is incredibly constant and the main reason I am trying to learn how to live a day at a time, taking each assignment, book, and paper as it comes rather than thinking about everything due Friday on Monday. I plan ahead, I put it on the calendar, but I can honestly say that right now, I don't worry.

God is good all the time.

Forget living a day at a time....I have found (with my worry and trust issues) that 5 minutes is about all I can handle. :) So I waltz through life 5 minutes at a time. As soon as I get ahead of myself I begin to be anxious, and I remember that when that 5 minutes gets here, I'll live in those minutes like I'm living in these minutes. It has been quite a wonderful and freeing feeling to trust in the Lord :).
