Semester 4, Day 1

Really and truly, a lovely day one. Beginning with some early morning prayer, and one 50 minute class. Add a cinnamon dolce latte, and a bright afternoon. Pretty great, actually.

I'm determined to begin this semester with joy. I know I cannot control much of anything, but I can control my attitude. I can begin my days in prayer, handing over my burdens to God. I can ask for His joy throughout every situation. I can choose to be content in any situation I encounter. Just like Paul says in in Philippians 4: 11 "...I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content." I do not know if I've learned that quite yet, but I'll apply it right now to this semester. I will be content, I will be joyful, I will sing praises to My God. For He is great and mighty and worthy of all my praise. These are things I can do. I'm going to be proactive. The devil will not steal my joy. So... here I am in the middle of day one, praising God, and bubbling over. Let's start this thing right.
