Oh Happy Day!

This is, indeed, the day that the Lord has made!! The Lord has continued to pour out His blessings on me despite my tendency to push time with him aside when things get crazy (i.e. an organic test is in 3 days). This entire weekend, though it was spent studying, was one big joy after another because my joy is not in what I am able to do or not do because of schoolwork, but rather in the Lord. Today, has been a sort-of renewed promise to me from the Lord that He is my joy and my strength and that my purpose on this Earth is not to be the perfect student, then PA, then wife and mother. But rather to glorify Him in trying my hardest whether I am at the bottom or top of the class, whether or not I get into grad school, and whether or not I get married and have kids. Oh, how exciting it is to be in the palm of His hand. My cup is indeed overflowing

What a joy it is to be carrying out the Lord's will for my life!!!!

Psalm 23:5 "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows."

P.S. According to my Christmas countdown, there are only 38 days until Santa rolls in. Don't you love Christmas? It is such a time for traditions and family and friends and joy and laughter and catching up. But most of all, I love that it is a chance to come together and reflect on an entire year of growth in the Lord and on His many blessings, especially the gift of Jesus.
