“Lord, I thank you that you are in control, no matter what happens. I trust that you are holding me in the palm of your hand, today and always—and that you’ll never let me go.”
This is a quote that I received in an email today. And I realized that this is something that I really need to take to heart and try to say this prayer every day. I think it might be time to pull out another index card so that I can post it in front of me at my desk. As I am sure you will grasp about me, and as I have said before, I don’t do well with change. But it is so important in my life, especially right now that I am in this process of dealing with a very large change, that I just give it all to God, and trust Him for He know best!

My favorite verse that I attempt to live my life by is Psalm 37:5 “Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust Him and He will help you.” Of course being human I very often fail at this, but I feel like everywhere I turn I am constantly being reminded that I need to trust Him. I don’t know if it is a sign that something life changing is about to occur or not. But I don’t want to read into it too much, because then it will just stress me out! I think I may take another index card and just write TRUST!
Okay, now I am going to very abruptly change the subject. I think I could go on and on about trust, but I am not going to. So, last night I had an awesome time at IHOP with some friends. I am really trying to focus my time on spending some quality time with my friends, since time is very quickly running out. If you want to hang out just let me know; I would be more than happy to! I feel like the subject is now going to end up being time, but it really isn’t something to worry about until it is being taken away. And although time is not being taken away in the permanent form of death, it is all the same being taken away in that I am not going to be able to see the same people that I have for the last two and a half years, every day.
Not only is time an issue with not being able to see friends, it is also in a more physical form (or at least the physical form as I see it in my head) that I just have a lot to do. I am now in the homestretch of the semester. All of the final projects of the year are all going to occur in the next two weeks, and then after that there are exams. On top of all the school work, a couple of weeks ago I received an email from student retention giving me a list of things I need to make sure I have all tied up before I leave. Even though I am very grateful for the list, because I love lists, it is just a reminder of all the stress there is to come.
Well I guess trust and time are just two things I need to focus on; trusting the Lord and managing my time wisely. If I remember I will attempt to let you know how it is going!
I and Love and You,
Diana
