My life is chaos. Pure chaos. This is due to me having zero organizational skills. This past week, I was running across campus which is something I do quite often in the crazy of my life. So there I was running across campus, frantically shuffling through papers, stressing about tests I have to take and worrying about my friends. I was about 10 minutes late for my next class and didn't have my book and I was riding out the last of a sinus infection. As I stressed my way across campus I nearly took out a woman coming out of a building. I quickly said hello and asked how her day was as I tried to edge my way around her. She then said something that stuck with me.

She said, "I have many blessings."

It was a simple phrase but it stuck in my brain and wouldn't leave me alone.

Suddenly I wasn't as concerned about being late for class or the things I didn't have done. My sinus headache wasn't suddenly so bad. I was suddenly a little disappointed for forgetting how blessed I truly am.

"And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. " - 2 Corinthians 9:8

I realized, I am blessed. I have the opportunity to go to college and my college is the perfect fit. I realized I didn't have to worry about my friends, they have their health, while they may be stressed they are still perfectly amazing individuals. My family is a huge blessing, They constantly support and encourage me. I'm blessed by my ability to run across campus. I'm blessed that my body is capable of fighting off infections.

I am blessed for a thousand other reasons, but mostly that I am a Child of the King. As Psalm 23 says "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures: he leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul: he leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for he is with me; his rod and his staff they comfort me. He has prepared a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: He anoints my head with oil; my cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever."

What do I have to fear or worry about? He holds me in his hands. He holds my tomorrow, and I am blessed.
