the jumble

my life is crazy. I have atleast 13 hours of school classes a week, atleast 4 1/2 hours a day of homework each day, 6 hours of dance a week, im a lead in two plays, i am in the nutcracker, i am a starting center on a varsity girls team (practices everyday besides wednesday), i dont like missing youth group or church, and i have to squeeze in family and babysitting evie-grace time. Sometimes it's nice to sit and read the bible. What would i do without that book? its just the most comforting thing i own. I am funny about the bible though, i find extreme comfort in holding and reading MY Bible. The satisfaction that it is a book I have received and it is mine to read for however long it will hold together.
Also, man, the music. Clicking that ipod into the speakers and playing Shane & Shane, Passion, Jessica Lyndon Ray, and so many others. Just sitting there and hearing the words and in your heart agreeing and singing as loud as your lungs take you... of course singing with your diaphragm because my voice teacher would be appalled if i hurt my voice cause i wasnt using that diaphragm. Anyways, its comforting to know that in this jumble of everyday and intense schedule, God is there and loves to hear about my day and loves for me to just sit. and listen. Such a breath of fresh air. Especially when everything seems to be sinking slowly, painfully, and surely, He is loving, encouraging, and neverchanging.

"Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus." Philippians 1:6-7

thats my rant for the busy wednesday.
