I went home for a week at thanksgiving and had a wonderful time with family and a few friends. It was great to step back from the craziness of school and to rebalance my priorities. Coming back in the last week we have 3 finals and a project. I know that seems like a lot, and I feel a little overwhelmed with everything I have to do before leaving on the trip, but looking at it I realized how much worse it could have been. We took 3 finals before leaving for thanksgiving break that could have been scheduled for this week as well. With that being said I also have to get my immunizations, buy luggage, and come up with and buy materials for activities with the kids. It is overwhelming, but God has quietly reminded me on a daily basis that this is not my plan or my idea, this is a desire HE put in my heart and that HE loves giving me the desires of my heart as I trust in HIM. Watching this semester as he laid everything out for this trip I have so much confidence in what he is doing, but as the to-do list piles up and does not get checked off like I plan it is so easy to quickly forget. But I know these are the steps he has asked my to take so as I finish this last week I work hard, press on, and rely on HIM to do more with one life, with my life then I could ever dream possible!
Do not fret because of those who are evil
or be envious of those who do wrong;
for like the grass they will soon wither,
like green plants they will soon die away.
Trust in the Lord and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him and he will do this:
He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn,
your vindication like the noonday sun.
Psalm 37:1-6
