My first passage was Psalm 103, and you know what? Anna Holliday texted me about that very passage a few days ago! So I had already prepped.
I'm DROWNING under a homework load right now, and let me tell you... I want to WHINE like a baby. But then I compare... in a better way. I realize how much I have loved school and how much I love these classes... I realize how AWFUL my workload was all semester last fall... I remember how great my family seems to be doing under the circumstances... I think about my cozy work space on the couch in peace and quiet. Then I'm thankful!
Then I pull the lense out wider and see my life in the timeline of ETERNITY. And I pan down and see Christ being born so that I could do my work to prepare my heart and mind for Christian life. And the more I pan out with my camera eyes, the smaller I become, and the fuller I feel. What a honey sweet perspective.
So I smirk as Jars of Clay soul-sings "I'll Fly Away", and I continue to work.
