Things weighing my mind....

Here are just a few things that are weighing on my mind....

• the staff cuts that our school board has decided on again...the loss of our middle school counselor...
• the possibility that she will be able to "bump" me and I'll lose my job...
• the 5K on the 9th that I'm not ready for yet...
• the 180 mile bike trek that I'll be doing in June that I'm hoping that I'll be ready for...
• the quarter coming to an end and my class finalizing things at the last minute...
• the cost of heating....$$$
• the master's program that I've been working toward...

Sometimes I just need to vent.  I know that my issues are so small compared to what others have to deal with, but these are my stressors.

Patience and Trust

I tend to go through life with blinders on, hoping that everything will just work itself out.  If I let things get to me, they’ll only get me down and become a distraction.  If I stress, I become frustrated.  If I leave it in His hands and roll with the punches, everything falls into place.  Is it wrong for me to be like this? Everything has always worked out in the past.  God may help those who help themselves, but sometimes I have to leave it completely in his hands and trust that He knows best.  The hardest parts is being patient and letting go.
