Respite

My Facebook status the past few days has been this: "its gonna take a lot of prayer and dark chocolate to get through the rest of this week. :) "

This weekend is Homecoming Weekend here at GBS. They are expecting 600-900 guests. The numbers keep changing, so I really have no idea how many people will be here. I have been dreading the next few days with my whole being. I couldn't imagine how life could get any busier without me losing my marbles. I kept plodding along and was living very near tears.

Once again - why didn't I realize that God knows what one can (or in my case, can't) handle?
Two of my classes have been canceled. The due date on my paper has been moved. My test has been moved. Chapel tomorrow is shortened. Yay!! I may actually be able to catch my breath before the eight+ hour day that I will be putting in tomorrow (which is 'voluntary' labor, by the way).

So, for the moment, I am enjoying sitting on my bed...blogging, having my devotions, and just spending time in the quiet with God. I know that with Him I (and everyone else who is freaking out like me) can make it.

This is the promise that God gave me this morning:
"And as your days, so shall your strength be...the eternal God is your dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms." Deuteronomy 33:25, 27
