More Than Enough

There are some phrases that just play over and over in your mind, what's stranger is when you cannot place why you might be continuously replaying this certain phrase. Recently, I've been reminded of the phrase "my grace is sufficient for you". This may be because I was hanging out with Grace, among others, last night, but I highly doubt that's the reason. The origin of this phrase comes from 2 Corinthians 12:9, "And He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. " This has got to be one of the most amazing bible verses, although they are all good (for the most part).
This is my last full day at school until I retreat home, followed by a resort in Hot Springs (but that's another story for another time) and I have to admit, I have more work to do by the end of this day than I have had all semester. It's funny how those things happen; why do professors like to ruin the holidays with work that could have been assigned up to two and a half months ago? This rush to finish everything before the wonderful Thanksgiving holiday is what I had been craving up until now because all I want to concentrate is what I do when I go home (a full schedule of...nothing integrated by sleeping, shopping, watching movies, and of course, eating)! I think the lesson of this horrible final day is that no matter how flooded the entire state of Texas is or how much work and stress you have, God is always enough. He holds us up at the hardest times of our lives. Granted, this is not the worst point of my life, but I know that God will never let me down.
Now, about that word "sufficient"; it's probably one of my favorite words right now. It's such an awe-inspiring word, it has such magnitude. Talking food, being sufficient would mean you have everything you need in the exact proportion that you need it and being overall satisfied. You're not missing anything yet you do not have more than you need. Deficiency or toxicity in any nutrients can lead to serious consequences, the worst being death. God promises that we will not be lacking nor will we have more than we need, we'll have exactly what we need.
Despite my current feelings about my essay, project, and exam, I know I will be able to handle them. I think this is because I've always trusted that God would never give me more than I can handle. So bring on the hours of work! OH yea!
Hours aways from Thanksgiving break,
