Well, tonight should be interesting. I need to do a little bit of work, as usual, but there’s nothing too weighty. I’m off to dance presently, hoping desperately that a particular gal won’t be in the gym. A few times recently I’ve gone to the gym to dance and been disappointed to find her (some upperclassman) occupying the only space suitable for ballet. Not a big deal in the end. I can always go run instead.
After dancing and dinner and schoolwork, I’ll go to a Bible study and prayer meeting across campus. I love my brothers and sisters here!
After that I’ll probably try to go to bed at a decent hour.
This is the season for financial arrangments. I need to slap some sense into myself and start fundraising for India. Until now I haven’t written any individual support letters, only bigger ones to groups. (More details on that later.) I also need to sign and deliver my financial aid documents for school next year, go to a job interview for my on-campus job(s), and try to find an apartment near Annapolis for the summer. The best deal I’ve found is a year-long lease in Glen Burnie. It’s not far away at all, and I could commute, but I don’t really want to live that far away from campus next year. And $530 per month is not cheap! On top of everything I’m awaiting the decision for Residence Assistance jobs for next semester.
But, as they say, “When the going gets tough,” I reply, “Stop striving.” There’s no scheming or planning that I can do for anything beyond my control. I’ll sign my forms, write my letters, and look for my apartment, but what happens happens. Regardless of how high the pile may seem, there’s no weight on my shoulders, because my Lord’s yoke is easy and His burden is light. That statement isn’t a mantra to make myself feel better by forgetting about the situation. It’s true. My God is faithful and takes care of His children.
I’m off to dance, like I wrote. Praise the Lord.
