Overwhelmed

Well, it's been quite some time since my last post. Life has been so busy and I feel like a bee flying from one place to the next. There has definitely been some fun along the way. It was so great to get to celebrate a childhood friend's wedding this last weekend and see many old friends again. I also had the chance to meet my nephew for the first time since he was born. Let's just say it was love at first sight:) This week was supposed to be plagued with papers and projects. Thankfully, they were mostly moved until next week. It's a blessing to have more time, but I just am feeling overwhelmed by how much is due.

Today, I decided to dedicate most of my day to school work before class, with the exception of a morning run. I felt confident I would get a whole lot done. However, I ended up spending more time on one project that took the entire day. So, my to do list is still long. I just pray that the Lord would guide me with diligence and time management to get it all done. Sometimes, my perfectionist ways prevent me from just getting things done. I'm struggling for balance right now. I want to be a good student and do well, but I also don't want to fall back into old habits of neglecting social and personal time. hm....so much to ponder, but I need to get ready for class.

Lord, I just pray that in all I say and do, you would be glorified. Give me the motivation and time management to do well in all areas of life. Lord, you know my concerns with finding a field placement. I lift them up to you! Please just have your hand on all those who are in pain right now whether emotionally or physically. Place your healing hand upon them, so that they may know your love. Thanks for being my rock, Lord. I'm going to need to rest on your steadfastness for the remainder of my time in graduate school. Praising you for the wonderful news regarding a friend, who has a potential health crisis. Praying that the results continue to be positive.

Amen!
