Day two of my blog.... Today I started my day with a good time with God, laying out all of my worries. Taking an online class has made me a bit uneasy lately so i've been learning to constantly hand it over to God. I cracked open my laptop, got all my notes out, even had a tutor with me! I was ready to tackle my math tasks at hand. The ones due tonight at midnight. It was 10:30 a.m., I was ahead of the game! Sure enough, right as I opened the first assignment the internet kicked me off. What does this mean? I became completely blocked from this assignment. Without finishing this assignment, I cannot finish any of my other assignments, all of them due today. A very stressful event, yes. But as I sat back and stared at the computer screen, facing rejection from an online math class and wondering what to do next, I started to feel a peace in my heart. The stress started slowly seeping out of me and I was filled with this assurance that God would handle it. This is very unusual for me. My normal reaction is to full on panic, talk about it incessantly all day, and wait with baited breath for the professor to email me back with a solution. But not today! No, the problem still isn't fixed, but I think God prepared me for this ahead of time. He listened to me tell him about math and why it was worrying me so much and in my imagination I can feel him patting me on the back and saying it's going to be okay. It's a reassurance that only he can give, that's for sure. It causes me to wonder how different my days would be if I woke up and just laid everything out for the Lord. What if I offered him everything I have every morning? What would my days look like? This sounds like a simple task... just takes some discipline. But really it takes the heart, and that's where I would like my heart to be. Is it possible to make God my daily breakfast buddy? How close could we get if we met every morning to discuss the trials and joys ahead of us on that particular day, taking it 24 hours at a time?
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden light." Matthew 11:28-30
"So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34
I still really don't like math.
