Have 5 seconds to spare?

Life has been so ridiculously busy lately. Each day I have maybe 5 minutes that I can really afford for myself - still, I was up till 3 last night and 2 a.m. the night before. My parents haven't heard from me since spring break. I've been wondering today....how is it that my life is still working? Why haven't I - overloaded? lost my mind? stressed out? Here's what I've figured out - part of what I know to be true, part a fuller explanation. Knowing that God is in control means that I don't have to worry. Some people spend so many idle hours of their day worrying - lying in bed trying to go to sleep, during a shower, walking across campus, working. I've seen the wisdom in a quote from Jesus that has nothing even to do with God's help - "Who of you, by worrying, can add a single hour to his life?" Beyond that, I've seen with my own eyes that God is faithful when we trust Him. So then - when I've got idle brain time at work, or while walking to class or while in the shower, I can actually think about what specifically I can do to get things done instead of wondering how in the world I'll ever get anything done in time. As far as trying to go to sleep at night? I don't have to think - I can just go to sleep and rest. And so now...I'm going to go rest. Good night
