All day today my brain was whirling with intimidating grown-up things that have suddenly dropped on my plate. By the end of April, I will have entered the world of employment, gotten my drivers license, and turned seventeen. Add SAT preparations, Prom planning, and the four outstanding papers that need to be written before the school year's end and that pretty much sums up my life right now. Reflecting on my last two days, I know I have spent too much time worrying and procrastinating and not enough time  trusting and getting things done. Not enough time breathing words of thanks to my Father who has everything under control. My life in his hands. 

And in my hands He put a book. Just an outlet to escape into characters and intriguing events. But He knew what I needed. And here I am telling you about it instead of diving into the story, but I just wanted to say this:

If our God is for us, who can stand against us? Can work or money or hard papers or even student-designed-science-experiments-turned-papers stand in the way? 

Nothing can.
