I'm a little too stressed out about my senior concert and where I'm going to live/study next year. I know 3 things for sure: the senior concert is going to happen on March 19th and after that I don't have to touch a single key, I know for sure nursing school is the right school for me, and God knows me all too well to let anything go "wrong" or what I think is wrong.
I was in Cleveland this past weekend for Tatiana Ball. When I was in church and looking at the icon of Christ to the right of the Great Doors, I got a sense of strength and joy illuminating from His face. It's like He was saying to me, "Here I am, I love you, and there is nothing to worry about!" I love times when I get clear thoughts from Him. It happens at very unexpected moments, but they are so precious to me. Fr. I. talked about the necessity of our lives to depend on God just so we are not going to "worry" about the current economic situation. He is right!
From Romans 8
"If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, will he not also give us all things with him?"
I found this quote by St. Feofil also very inspiring,
"... everything that is of God is peaceful and useful and leads a man to humility and to judging himself. "
In addition over the pat couple of months I was thinking how blessed I am to have a family that I can depend on and call anytime. My dad is the steady hand in my family, my mom is light-hearted and loving, my grandmother is always proud of me no matter what, and Alex - always a troublemaker trying to find his way in this world. They are always there to welcome me in never mind the circumstances. God has blessed me so much with my loving family! :-)
I have strength in Him, and that's all I can say for now!
Blessings,
Darina
