Hello there,
I'm on the way home from Sfield after dropping off my besties with their Momma's so they could get home and rest after an insane week with little sleep.
I miss them a lot already.
But I'm also ready/nervous for routine to start up again.
I made myself study for the ACT on the way home today. I just took the test at the end of the chapter and almost started sobbing when I saw how badly I failed. Well, granted I didn't have my calculator with me, but still.
I'm feeling really overwhelmed about the ACT and the MCAS tests right now. I just feel like I'm being pulled in two directions along with work stress and home stress, and it's *hard* learning to be an adult. It takes a whole lotta trusting in Jesus and I cannot even to being to think of how I could do it without Him in my life. So I'm sitting here and praying that I will give it all to Him to take care of. I know I'm not going to feel prepared for either of the tests, and if that's how God wants me to take them, then that's what is right.
I've been thinking a ton lately about how He's laying out my life. While I know how many things are going to change, it's been sooo cool to see how He's working with me. For instince, I was really scared about the thought of college, taking classes, and working all the time. And with the job that He so beautifully placed in my life, I am learning so much each and every day. I was pulled out of my comfort zone, but He did it carefully and softly, not harshly and hurtful. I love how He does things like that. I didn't deserve it in the least. I'm scared about work tomorrow (or Friday. I don't know which day I'm working yet. We're 20 minutes out.) just for the reason of being pulled out of my comfort zone. I've had a week at home with my best friends for a week, and just had some time to breathe. Now that I'm jumping head first back into it all, I'm shaking on the diving board.
But Jesus is all around and He's going to always keep me safe. Whether I fail the ACT and MCAS or not. He's always there.
Blessings to you friends. Jesus is with you on the overwhelming days and on the great ones.

Learning to be an adult is hard, and I feel about it like you do about your ACT quiz results: I feel totally unprepared for the test of LIFE because I seem to flunk every quiz that comes along.
ReplyDeleteI needed to hear that encouragement though. He is there when I feel like a failure and when I don't. And He is always good, and always sovereign, so I can fully trust Him.
