i should be asleep, but unfortunately i am still awake.
i have not slept since 1:30 pm yesterday. it has been a long
18 hours of reading, writing, and discussing.
i seriously think i might keel over.
i have been working on this paper for dialogue for over a week,
every two days changing my topic and starting fresh. three days
ago was the last time though, maybe over three days but i am not
sure seeing as my brain wants to quit on me.
as i have been working on this paper, i have gotten to a place of
frustration because i feel as though i am working my butt off
and yet nothing is coming out of it. plus, i keep thinking about
everything i have to do for other classes, and how i have to pack
and clean and all that great stuff that has to get done in order to
really be "free".
so as i was stressing about it, i was reminded of a verse.
and i want to share it with you because i am in a place of
having to fully depend on it in order to get through this
last day and a half. my energy, strength and ability to think
are all gone, but i know someone whose aren't.
he said to me,
"i can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
then he went ahead and added:
"be anxious for nothing, but in everything
by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, make your
requests known to God. and the peace of God, which passes
all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds
in Jesus Christ."
praise the Lord.
