Whew, there is a lot to be done in the next 72 hours! As my family and friends know, I can tend to get really overwhelmed with life at times. But the Lord has really been reminding me these past few months that it's going to be okay. It won't be perfect, and it most likely won't go the way I'd like it to, but I will survive and can even try to enjoy the difficult, stressful times by the grace of God. He is always faithful, and if I can take a minute to remember who he is and that he is what I want my life to be about, the next task on my to-do list won't seem so daunting.
God grant me the serenityto accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time,
accepting hardships as the pathway to peace,
taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it,
trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will,
that I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him forever in the next.
