Survival

It's the goal of everyone. We all have different things we are trying to make it through. Some of us struggle through work, some through school (cough, cough.. me!), and some even through everyday life. I've been thinking lately "Goodness, there have been so many bad days. I am never going to get through this." I forgot in my simple "human-ness" (Silly human ways that are much too worldy) that God gives those incredibly bad and difficult days so that we can fully appreciate the splendor of those great days. This weekend was just plain bad with all of the work that I was doing, I thought there was no light at the end of the tunnel. Then it occured to me that Easter was this next Sunday, and that I get the celebrate the Light! : ) That thought brought me so much pleasure and I can not wait to celebrate Easter with our church family.

So whatever surviving you are up to this week, whether it is school and finals, work, marriage, or just plain old life, remember, there's a light at the end of the tunnel, and his name is Jesus! He brought you to it, and he'll bring you through it!

p.s.- I no longer feel student teaching is going to bring about my untimely death, in case you couldn't tell! : )
