Agreeing With That Isaiah Guy...

It's a week where life's coming at me hard. 

There's all of this student teaching stuff, but I haven't been able to fully keep my mind wrapped around that. I'm not worried, per se, but there's a lot on my mind. Most of it has to do with unknowns and things that are beyond my control right now, like post-graduation life. 

Despite the volume of things weighing on my mind, there's a sense of peace there that's fantastic. A friend told me not to question that peace from God, and he was right. So, here I am, not worried, but I am caught up in contemplating the possibilities. And honestly, I wish I knew more instead of having all of these uncertainties before me. 

One certainly I do have, though, is that I'm open to anything at this point. 

My sophomore year at CUC had the theme of  "Here I am, Lord, send me." It was derived from Isaiah. And here's where I'd reference the exact passage if I had any idea off the top of my head (I don't). We heard that section of Scripture and sang the hymn so many times that it became a joke, but now those are words I can't chase from my mind. All I can do is adopt it as my attitude. 

Do you ever have those times where you are frustrated by not being able to foresee the future? Have you noticed a correlation between your attitude about a situation and your stress level?

That sounds like it'd be the hook for some infomercial about some great product. Hmmm...what kind of product could I follow that introduction up with?
