worry less

Holy Shoot its November already! Where did the time go? Well, actually, we did gain an hour on Saturday so that was nice. It's starting to get a little chilly here in the mid-west. Sadly enough. I am missing the days of summer. But I still love the colors of fall and sometimes throwing on a hat and scarf isn't so bad after all. As November draws closers, as does the end of semester. Right now I am looking at 5-10 projects that are due by the end of semester. I started 4 of them over the weekend. I am trying to save myself from a homework suicide load toward Thanksgiving. It's kinda of exciting though. At the end of this semester I will not only be applied to student teaching, I will be a senior. A SENIOR!!! That's just a little too crazy for me honestly. The tendency I go towards is to start worrying about the future. Student teaching, graduation, finding a job, living on my own...yikes! It's all a little overwhelming if I think about it at once. God has already started working on that peace for me. Sunday at church the pastor spoke about living in the here and now. We try to control the future by controlling what happens now. If we would just concentrate on doing what God wants from us now, we wouldn't have to worry about the future so much. So that is what I am trying to do. Focus on today. Even though I am looking ahead at the bazillion projects/papers I will have due in the next few weeks, I am not worried. I am just using the wisdom God gave me to get them done sooner.
