Here goes nothing…
***
I just turned in my final paper.
Tonight was my final time with my small group.
Tomorrow is my last research meeting.
I got the signature from my advisor so that I can actually get my degree.
My tags are expired.
I drive home in less than 3 days.
My best friend's bridal shower is on Saturday.
My sister is competing in (and should win) Miss Delaware on Saturday.
June is almost over.
I did not go to Young Life camp this year for the first time.
I long for seven or more hours of sleep.
Gas prices have gone down fifty cents in a week.
I need to run.
That pasta and salmon was even better the second day.

If you are wondering how any of that connects, you let me know when you figure it out.
Right now, my life is a long list of disconnected tasks. Call the doctor, get the oil change, send the evite, make the video, make the flier, call your sister, sweep your room, read your Bible, listen to that podcast, make the cookies, drop off the clothes to Salvation Army, go for a run, write those cards, call Jess, get paper signed, withdraw money from the ATM, make your budget for the week, GO RUN, put away the dishes, get your car washed, pay your cc bill, text him happy birthday, iron your shirt, pray for your family, pack up your photos. AHHHHHHHHHH!
Where's my personal assistant?
Oh right. I don't have one.
Still don't understand how parents do this thing called life. It's just me and half the time I'm floundering. And what's crazy is how I was just doing GREAT yesterday. It's so crazy how over 24 hours so much can change. I just keep encouraging myself that God is stronger and He is greater and He is wiser and He is working everything out for the good. So bring the lists, bring the exhaustion, bring the stress, God is bigger than it all and He will give me the wisdom, rest, and peace to overcome every circumstance.
Holla!
