He won't let me

I should be stressed right now. I should be anxious. I should be pulling my hair out in frustration and guzzling caffeine to give myself energy to finish everything.

But I’m not.

Yes, I have a lot to do before I leave for Europe in ONE week (woot!). And to be completely honest, it’s overwhelming – probably the most overwhelming week of my life. Or at least it should be.

And yet, every time I’m tempted to stress out or get uptight, God sends a timely divine intervention to bring me peace and to remind me of what is ultimately important. As I walk around campus, people stop me in my tracks to tell me that they are praying for me, to give me a hug, or to offer encouragement. As I repeatedly look at my growing list of things to do and am almost at the point of tears, someone inevitably walks by or sends an email to tell me how God has been working in their life or to randomly offer to take something off of my hands. It’s like… I almost feel pressure to make myself stressed out, because I feel like I should be with so much on my plate. But God won't let me. He won’t give me a burden that I can’t handle; He is with me in this.

Somehow, I trust that everything will get done. But even if it doesn’t, I know the ultimate end of the story—God WILL be glorified! And I will never have to stress out about that.

So take my life, let it be, everything, all of me. Here I am, use me for your glory.
