Today I'm grateful for God's little reminders--words that speak to the soul in the times you need it most. I started freaking out about this week on Friday, and as I sit on top of this hill called Monday, I may actually be about to have an anxiety attack. I mean, it's just hard academically. But in this phase of life, every message I hear says that the grades I make matter-that we're stuck in a world where there is no place for compassion. There's only competition here. So I let that get inside my head and block off all peace receptors. My brain listens only to my nerves-not to the foundational truths that my life is supposed to be founded upon. But yesterday at church, I heard the exact words I needed to hear as I face a hard week: Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in his wonderful face. And the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of his glory and grace. Singing that in church took me to a place of quiet. A place of stillness. A place of peace. God put a sticky note out for me this week- a short phrase with high-impact truth-and for that I am so thankful.
