But I was reminded this morning in church that it's not because of my amazing Wonder Woman powers that I'm able to get through each day--it's only by the grace of God, who gives me just the strength and energy and clarity of mind and joy I need to get through each day. All the things that I'm involved in are because God has given me the talents and skills for them, but it's so easy to forget that little detail and think I'm just doing everything myself. Instead of taking time at the end of a crazy busy day to thank God for all that He's given me and all He's allowed me to do, I just skip right to thinking about the next thing on my to-do list. When really, I wouldn't even have a to-do list without Him.
With that in mind, I'm going to resume my homework with a thankful heart, remembering that I have this opportunity and the skills to pursue it only because God has provided it. And, even when I'm feeling completely overwhelmed, He'll also provide all the strength I need to get through. One day at a time.
Kiya thinks she's going to help.

thanks for the reminder. it's so easy to become consumed with to-do lists, work, laundry, school, laundry, and lose sight of our purpose on this earth.
not simply "to-do," but to be--all for His glory and fame.
cute kitty! :)
I gave being wonder woman years ago. Living one day at a time works well for me and praying that my will lines up with his will for my life. Be blessed
