Do The Next Thing

We're in the home stretch now with exactly one week until graduation. It is a stressful time indeed and rightly so with finals, work, the boyfriend, prom with a friend, shopping for special dresses for graduation and a wedding in June. You have so many decisions to make these days;grown up decisions about the next steps for college and such. Adulting is hard. You are doing it. You are making hard decisions about big things. It can feel heavy because it is heavy. You are making brave choices as you contemplate your future at the same time you find closure for a trauma in your past. Brave decisions. I am proud of you, so proud. It is hard, so we must remember to breathe and just do the next thing. That was Dr C's advice a couple of weeks ago - just do the next thing. Don't worry about decisions for next month or next year or even next week. Do the mext thing today - maybe even this hour. This is wisdom. Jesus said, "Don't be anxious about tomorrow for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day we'll have trouble with its own." So we will breathe and do the next thing. Today's next thing is is University orientation. My alarm is going off in about 9 minutes, telling me to get ready. We have a plan for the day and we will get through today, trusting God for tomorrow. I love you, Gracie girl. I am so proud of you.
