Something I need to remember

25."Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26.Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27.Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life ? 28."And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29.Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30.If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31.So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32.For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33.But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34.Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

I want a job

according to MY plan, i was going to graduate in August of next year (2009). That plan required me to take 4 classes this summer, 5 in the fall, 5 in the spring, and 4 next summer. if i drop even one class, it will push graduation back to December of 2009. Tomorrow, begins a summer session where i am scheduled to take 2 classes at once. one is an online class and one is a "go to class" class. I've been praying for a while that God will help me do this. Taking more than about 3 summer classes is sort of an ordeal because summer classes are very fast paced and you have to attend them practically every day of the week. well, i got an answer from God this weekend about my classes. God wants me to take it easy and not worry about graduating so soon. I will be dropping the "Go to class" class and keeping the online class. I was originally very upset about not graduating next summer because it means more money for school, more money for daycare and just less time till i am earning money. However, I know this is God's will and not mine and I'm learning to be okay with that. I'm not normally a "go-with-the-flow" kind of person. I'm very much a planner, a list maker, a structured person. i get tense when i don't know exactly what we'll be doing and when. i think God is trying to loosen me up to let me know he makes the plans, not me.
