Kristina=stress=work=school=stop or else.
Working four nights a week, two Bible studies, Mosaic club, senior project, who's my advisor, where do I find time to go to Wilmington to hang with my mentor?, tutoring freshman, trying to raise money for hurricane Ike victims, homework and studying, looking at working with raquel=spending time at the elementary school, birthday parties, makeup tests, chemistry project, struggling in chemistry and math already, college essay and apps, running too many little errands that take up time, picking up jeff from wrestling, filling my gas tank (fifty bucks!!), church all day sunday, quiet times?, crying in Mrs Pearce's classroom [embarrassing], crying at work [even more embarrassing], geez this is so frustrating...
it's only thursday i'm falling asleep in class why do i do this to myself? Martha, martha, martha...
"I am the comfortable, secure,
Definition of this western world
And I have it perfected, it seems,
Even I believe I'm above saving.
...
It takes me falling to the ground
To admit to finally needing you
...
How come it takes so much
To bring me to my knees
Why does it take so much
Pain for me to see
I know that strength is found when
I am on my knees
Why is it so hard to
Show that I am weak?"

i can see you slamming your finger down on the keyboard in your opening sentence. love you girl.its ok to take something off your plate.
dude, i know you cant help it, but try not to over work yourself girl! It will get to your head and you'll crash big time. I can see your doing so much for other people, which is inspiring, but please just be careful.
It does seem like there is so much to do now. I know my week is constantly like that, but just at school. I don't have a job and thats causing me to stress over getting one, which will make me stress over having one.
grr.
our age sucks most of the time.
all in all, i love you and just be careful.
breathe.
What did your comment mean..?
And listen to Krysteah. She's smart.
Annnd.. talk to me. Please?
But talk to God first.
Kristina,
I think you found your answer in the song you quoted. Take time to be on your knees before God and He, only He, will lead you besides still waters.
PS 23. Practically speaking: when I am too busy I stop and review what I have done, what is nec, what is fluff, when did I get ahead of God. Sometimes doing good things are not always God things even though they are all packaged in a godly way. Stay on your knees or better yet on your face and learn to rest in Him.....
