just because...

so, today didn't start out so well. i woke up not feeling the best. not to mention i didnt sleep well last night b/c i was thinking too hard before i went to asleep about how some things were going to work out. it didnt help, that the weather forecast was calling for MORE snow for the never-ending winter we're already having. (it's the worst we've had in a while...did i mention that some suburbs are out of salt for the streets?..yeah, that's how bad it is.) but with all that, i attempted to focus, pray, keep my eyes on god and go on with my day.

well, it didnt seem to work like that. i could feel that i was tense on my morning drive in, and when i got to work i was completely unmotivated to start the day. more prayer. i knew what was wrong. i was focused on an issue that really doesn't need to be figured out TODAY or anyday at that. but it's an issue that concerns me from time to time. and today was definitely one of those days. i dont really know when or what i was doing. but i finally stopped and realized that i just needed to let this thing go. let it go as in stop trying to figure it out. we've been over this before. so, more prayer. i started quoting the scriptures in eph. 6 about the weapons of our warfare. i remembered joshua and his battles. and i felt better. because who am i to try to figure out god? and going through the day stressed definitely isn't going to change things. i stopped. i started breathing again. and i ended up having a pretty good day. (probably wouldve been better if i wasnt sick w/ a cold). then to top it off (probably about an hour after i let it all go), the mother of one of my students dropped off a plant for me. no reason. just because. thanks, God. :)

in other news im looking forward to this weekend. it's another girl's night out...this time we're headed to the city to see a play. i'll try and post pics.
