So today I was talking to a fellow student about our schedules. When he heard my schedule he asked "and your middle name is insanity right?" I know that I take on a fair bit, but I guess that I just never notice that I am pushing myself. I think that it has just always been a piece of my life. Just so that you guys understand why this comment was made I will give you a brief overview of my schedule.
per week work hours=15
per week class/homework hours=36
per week meeting/intern hours=15
Total =66 hour week(with some changes week to week)
When this schedule was brought to my attention at first I kept thinking that is not that bad, but as the weeks pushed on I started to realize how much work this is. I often feel like I maybe pushing myself too far. Then all of a sudden I realize that even though I am tired at times, I still normally have enough energy to keep pushing me forward. I truly believe that is God, because there is no way that I could have this energy without him.
I love to see the way that the Father provides at times, because of course our normal idea would be that he took away some of the activities so that I have time to rest more. However his method of providing is in the way of energy. Also he provides people that can encourage me, and to check on me when I feel like I cannot push anymore. There are times that I do think that it would just be easier to take things off my plate, but I know that these are all things that the Lord has asked of me. If I stay in him then I will be able to keep moving toward the work of the Lord.
I think that it is just amazing that the Lord has great knowledge to know what we need and when we need it. This is something that we have to remember because if we don't it is easy to get pushed down into the darkness of the world. Even if you plan looks great on paper, if God's plan is different than yours...you should go with his. I have to remind myself of that daily, that fight God is never a good plan.
