The time of midterms...

So I am not very good at being consistent. This semester has been absolutely insane workload-wise. So many papers, in fact I have three papers due on Monday, a test on Tuesday, and a midterm on Thursday (After already having another two papers, a quiz and a test last week). It has driven me crazy and I've cried several times scared that I won't be able to make it. And I won't. That's the honest truth. I can't do it. But God has brought to mind 2 Corinthians 12 Paul's thorn in the flesh. "Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. And He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.'" Isn't that exactly what we need to hear? I'm sure there are certain things that come up in everyone's lives in which they are sure that they won't be able to make it, but the grace of Christ is sufficient! If we are faithful to do what He's told us to do, and realize that there is no trial that reaches us that is not common to man, He will bring us through it. It's an issue of trust. Do I trust Him enough to get through this? If I don't make that choice, I will never get through this. So I'm choosing to trust Him, to give it to Him, to cast my burdens on Him because ultimately, I don't have any other choice. Well, I don't want to procrastinate so I need to spend some time with the Lord before starting on the rest of my papers.
