A Little Reminder

The downfall to a one year program is that it's almost March and well the program is winding down. I feel like I am right back where I was a year ago, wrestling with the decision that has to be made. This semester is packed to the max and I feel stretched and pulled in a million different directions and am in many different roles for my coursework, assistantship, and my student teaching. Today I was feeling really overwhelmed wondering if I could make it, can I really do this? Can I really finish? With things looming in the distance and deciding what the next step is... should I stay? Should I go somewhere else? Should I go back to NC? Should I get a job? Should I continue on in school? AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
Then I opened my devotional and read this:

KEEP YOUR EYES ON ME! Waves of adversity are washing over you, and you feel tempted to give up. As your circumstances consume more and more of your attention, you are losing sight of Me. Yet I am with you always, holding you by your right hand. I am fully aware of your situation, and I will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able to bear.

Your gravest danger is worrying about tomorrow. If you try to carry tomorrow's burden today, you will stagger under the load and eventually fall flat. You must discipline yourself to live within the boundaries of today. It is in the present moment that I walk close to you, helping you carry your burdens. Keep your focus on My Presence in the present.

It was a wonderful reminder, that I don't have to make the decision, I have to listen and follow. I also can look back at the past year and see how God has clearly put before me the path and met me around every corner and held my hand and even carried me when I couldn't walk another step. Sometimes a little reminder is all we need :)
