Desserts, anyone?

I am stressed this week.

Not only do I have to study for exams, but I also have to do homework, tests, quizzes, a paper, and read a 430 page book.
Did I mention its also exam week?

Anyway, I am having trouble prioritizing my time. I feel like I should be doing ten things all at once!

Usually when I am stressed like this,  I reach for my Bible and the m&m's.
Taking a break is such a helpful thing. Sometimes I just need to clear my brain before I can cram something else in there.
Plus, chocolate is always a good thing — stressed spells desserts backwards. Hmmm...

Well, when I did that last night, God showed me something (as He always does).
He showed me that He is in control. If I give Him control over every aspect of my life, He will work everything out.
All of the pressure to get everything done (and done well) vanished.

I am so thankful that He lifted that burden... if only so I wouldn't explode from too many m&ms. ;]
Seriously though, I asked Him to multiply my time; He did.

Often times I wonder what it would be like to not know such a God - He is my everything.
I couldn't live one day without His holy, sovereign, loving, powerful hand guiding my life.

From the smallest, most insignificant choices I make, to the largest ones, God is always there.
I know this week will pass -- there is always a tomorrow. And I can always learn from today.
I will praise Him in all things.

Psalm 119:50
My comfort in my suffering is this: Your promise preserves my life.

Yummm.
