In this transition time between the end of the holidays and my upcoming 24th birthday, I am honestly very tired and more stressed than I have been in a long time.
January 5th is the start of me working 60+ hours a week. I'll be registering an LLC tomorrow (or, rather, later on today). I'll also continue studying for the GMAT so that I can start my MBA program in the summer. That's on top of the Summit being around the corner, being involved in home group and discipling, and spending time w/ the Crew.
Needless to say, my first reaction to all of this change is to think about it, then strategize about how I'm going to get it done. What a hot mess I've been lately!
As my life is changing, my perceived need that I have for God is increasing. Recently, I heard a speaker say that we live without the things we can live without. It's funny how I don't realize my dependence on God until I am absolutely stripped. As my strength and energy decrease, my "need" for God increases. The way my life is heading toward will definitely get me more and more out of a Martha mindset and into a Mary lifestyle.
My heart will doubtless hold fast to these verses as I begin 2009: Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the LORD forever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength. (Isaiah 26:3-4)
I love my Abba
