Today is Your Day

Today is your day. You're off to Great Places! You're off and away! You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes.  You can steer yourself any direction you choose!  ~Dr. Suess

Today is my day.  Today is my (and every other Clemson student/teacher's) first day of class.  I'm feeling the weight of it, but its not too much.  It feels like a nice, chunky sweater for a fall day.  Heavy, yes, but appropriately so, and still mostly comfortable.

Last night, while mulling over the whole "I sent my baby to daycare and I don't like that she was gone from me all day" thing, God spoke to me.  Sometimes, I need a sharp comment to kind of knock my perspective back into place, but last night His tone was gentle.  "I will not ask from you more than you are able, so long as you lean on Me." was the gist of it.  

His words to me, gentle on my soul, reminded me of the passage I read (and kept re-reading) when I was struggling through those first weeks of being a mama - that He will never forsake me.  Its so awesome that I'm getting to do these new things, and that I don't do them (or anything, really!) alone.  So now I'm off to do some great new things!
