Temporary Dragonflies

What's up homies? Are you ready for today? ARE YOU REAADDDY??!

Yeah, I don't know if I'm ready yet either, but I'm having coffee and then I'll be up and at it, whatever it is. I am super anxious about working, because not working or schooling or both is the weirdest feeling in the world. I'm ready to get back into a schedule.

Today, however, I did accept a job for next semester at school, which will put me at a class schedule of 19 hours and then my work week hours...which may or may not prove to be life threatening with Physics II, Calculus III, Linear Algebra, etc. etc. But! You know what? It'll be okay, because I'm going to power through. And I'm actually really looking forward to it, because all of my classes look really fun.

I get anxious a lot, though. And I get nervous about a lot of things, and I tend to worry much, much, much, much, much, much, much, (a few more muches) MUCH more than I should. But, amidst all my worries, when I put it in perspective,

What really is worrying going to do about something? What will I achieve by staying up until who knows when, staring at my ceiling, unraveling every thought I've had through the day and worrying about what I've done and what I've said. It doesn't help. In fact, I would venture to say, that worrying often makes things a heck of a lot worse.

In Matthew 6:27, Jesus says "Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?". Well, can we?

No. The answer is no.

Anxiety and worry are too prone to taking the reins and saying to the rest of your brain, "Hey, I'm in charge now." And there isn't always an easy way to kick them out, especially if they lived there years and years and years.

But Jesus says to relax a little bit. He takes care of the birds in the sky; don't you mean so much more? Instead of taking the reins yourself from your worries, it's best to hand them straight to God. Because you know what? He knows exactly what He is doing, especially, especially when we definitely do not.

It's not our timing in life; it is far greater to trust in His timing. Because He knows the perfect way for things to work out.

If you're having fear or anxiety today, know that I'm praying for you. If you find yourself worrying, it may be time to hand those reins over, to give it all up to Him. And know that no matter what, it's going to be okay.

I love you guys, my temporary dragonflies. And I hope you have an excellent day.
