Kid, You'll Move Mountains!

It's that time of the weekend again - time to finish my homework and do some reading for the coming week. So here I am, blogging... haha

I'll be honest - this week was really rough, and I ran into some pressure situations where I did not react the way I could have and certainly not how I SHOULD have. I spent most of the week frustrated about the group project, and in a very bad mood - in short my attitude was pretty ugly. I spent the week moping and kicking and screaming on the inside. "She's going to ruin my 4.5 you know!". I was supposed to work on my Introduction & Conclusion for the presentation this week, but I couldn't get anywhere because I was so preoccupied with (and mad about) the mess I was supposed to be cleaning up.

Last night at church, Peter was talking about the "rest" in Hebrews. And how it's not a slumber but a state of "not working" as in not striving... Ok, I'm listening... By the end of the service I was so stinking convicted about this 4.5 and how I'm losing sleep over things that will affect it and how it's MY thing and how I've totally left God out of it. Probably somewhat out of guilt for ignoring His calling to go for my CGA straight out of high school... "See God, I'm doing it now and I'm going to be PERFECT!"... oy. So after giving up my 4.5 and a few other things, and then forgiving my classmate for "potentially ruining it" on me and releasing her from the judgements I'd made... I was almost asleep last night when my poor little head was flooded with ideas for my Intro/Conclusion (you know the one I was having a major brain cramp on because I was so angry and harbouring unforgiveness??). Funny God, I thought this letting go deal was supposed to help me sleep... =P After the flood of ideas, I promptly fell asleep - and it was sweet... And is my mood brighter today? U bet... =)

The moral of the story is, don't strive - let God guide you, listen to the promptings of the Holy Spirit, be OBEDIENT, don't harbour unforgiveness, and when your back's against the wall and you're frustrated with your situation - remind yourself - it's not your deal - give it to God, ask him where you've reclaimed the deal as your own, repent and GIVE IT BACK!!! I read a quote from Dr. Seuss this morning - "Kid, You'll Move Mountains!" It's true, but it ain't gonna happen because of YOU! =) So give it up, and move a mountain this week!
