I've had a song stuck in my head all day now... Maybe it's because it played at least twice yesterday when I had my entire music selection on random. ;) Still, the chorus has been replaying in my head all day.
I haven't really had time to write for enjoyment since classes started (I tech don't have time right now... but hey! ;D) due to the fact that my life is consumed by school, work and sleep (In that order). But, I've discovered something these last 6 weeks! I dislike online classes- I enjoy the face-to-face interaction. I loved pretty much all my PSEO classes (thankfully the one I didn't enjoy as much transferred as a required class for Moody so it was worth something!) But these last 6 weeks have worn me down, and fast. I'm always just barely keeping up with the reading/writing load and just end up pretty discouraged by Monday (everything is due Monday at midnight EST.) Actually, take it a step beyond discouraged.... I'm normally an emotional wreck by Monday. I have learned one thing from my Mondays... I can write a 6 page paper in a few hours when I have to, I can make sources that don't totally fit the topic at hand- fit the topic at hand and I can guess really well on multiple choice matching questions on my midterms (Who knew that remembering something about different metals and when they came into use (middle school history) would be helpful in a old testament survey class?) Anyways, back to the point- I've felt out of control, still do in fact. But these lyrics put my mind at ease... they remind me of something that I tend to forget when I am under pressure... He, is in control.
And the arms that hold the universe/Are holding you tonight/You can rest inside/It's gunna be alright/And the voice that calmed the raging sea/Is calling you His child/So be still and know He's in control/He will never let you go...
He *is* in control, I tend to try to be in control and then just end up stressed, confused and with my priorities all jumbled in a big, messy heap. If I just give Him the control I can rest, He has the entire universe in his arms and it all runs smoothly, why can't I give him control of my life? Every time I think I have, I realize there's another part of my life that I hug to myself wanting to control it like the toddler going "I do! I do!". I take so long to learn things and my Father just sits there with open arms encouraging me to give it all to Him, all those cares, worries, pressures... everything. He can handle it, I don't need to.
Solus Christus -Sara Jean
"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though it's waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. There is a river whose streams make the glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells. God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day. Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; he lifts his voice, the earth melts. The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Come and see what the LORD has done, the desolations he has brought on the earth. He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth. He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; He burns the shields with fire. He says, "Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our Fortress." -Psalms 46
