Day 65

I was able to get an early start today so I have already finished my ten things.I am thankful to get my things done early today so I can spend time with family this evening. The day seems to go by so fast. It is suppose to be a little sunny tomorrow, maybe I will be able get outside to get some things done. I still need to get the rest of the area cleaned out for my patio.

I practiced my Spanish and piano today. I read my books and practiced algebra. I worked on the course I am finishing . I ended up spending about an hour and half today on that. I gave my self a facial this morning. I have to admit I think it is helping . The dark circles under my eyes are getting better and my skin feels a little softer. I made more tortillas today and I made them a little flatter this time.They still look a little scary but they taste good. I still think I would get fired if I worked in a tortilla factory.

I still have not felt overwhelmed since I started this sixty five days ago. It is a great feeling to be free of that. Some days I felt like I had so much on my plate I did not have time to breathe. I had days that got so bad I would ask God to strike me dead because I could not do any more and I was worn out. A large part of that was from carrying burdens I was not intended to carry and also because I would say yes to many things with out praying about it first.

It is easy to think we can squeeze it in and it will work, but we have no idea what unexpected things may come up each day. It is hard to plan around unexpected things. But God knows what will come up. That is why it is best to ask him first. He knows what lies ahead and thankfully he continues to show compassion towards us  even when we make the wrong choices and then freak out about it and throw our hands up in the air when we have had enough and want to call it quits.Our behavior is nothing new to God.

Look at the compassion God had shown towards Elijah. Even after having victory on Mount Caramel. Elijah ran for his life from Jezebel and told God he had enough and asked God to take his life. He was afraid and weary and didn't want to deal with it anymore. But God was not done with him yet, he helped him get back on his feet and gave him the strength to keep going. God continues to do the same for us when we are weary and we don't feel like we can do anymore.

When I said, "My foot is slipping," your love , O LORD supported me. When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul.  PSALM 94: 18-19
