Quick Post

So I'm reading this book, Calm My Anxious Heart.  Its really good.  I highly recommend it.  I'm actually restarting it for the second time though because I left it at home when I was in the middle.  So I'm back to the beginning.  Anyway, in the very first chapter she shares what a missionary in Africa had written in her own diary about learning to be content.  She says:

-Never allow yourself to complain about anything--not even the weather.
-Never picture yourself in any other circumstances or someplace else.
-Never compare your lot with another's.
-Never allow yourself to wish this or that had been otherwise.
-Never dwell on tomorrow--remember that tomorrow is God's, not ours.

I found that very convicting.  I do all of that often.  Anyways, I just thought I'd share in case you could use that as much as I could.

I'm going to have to head back to class now :(  I mean, yay!
