Times Like Today

Sometimes, the todays wear me down. You know what I'm talking about: the days that are average. The days that I am bogged down with work and homework. The days that I get a thousand emails in a day because someone needs something at the pool, my professor needs another copy of my paper, and my coworker wants to know if I can cover a shift. The days when my to do list fills up my whole arm, takes over my brain, and completely consumes me. I have a hard time seeing past those days. And those days are today. They're my everyday. Like today. Today I was having a day. It's pretty incredible how much paperwork/email/phone calls required to keep a pool fully operational from 300 miles away. Add in the final projects and less than a handful of days until the start of finals, and you get one stressed out Molly.

And yet, it's days like this that make me happiest to be a Christian. Days when the wind makes me smile because I know that it's God distracting me from my stress. I find funny things on the internet and they make me happy. I read my daily Bible verse and it makes my heart smile. Yeah, these are good days. Sometimes God just has to nudge me a bit to remind me.

She is clothed in strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future. 
-Proverbs 31: 25
