A Time Warp?

I'm sure I'm not the only person who has ever felt ready for a certain date to come, yet wishing it was just a bit farther away at the same time. The semester ends in three weeks, and part of me is so ready to finish up on campus and move into the summer. I'm just kind of worn out from the physical, emotional and spiritual craziness that's been going on over the past few weeks and even months. To recap from after spring break, most of the people who went on the trip (including me) have ended up with a parasite - physical craziness. I find that here and there things remind me of Heidi and my grandpa and it dawns on me that they're really gone - emotional craziness. And, I mentioned it before, but Satan has continued to prey on opportunities to strike me, the other staff, and many of the students - spiritual craziness. Although my summer is going to be busy with a couple trips and a wedding in May and then my trip to Zambia in June and July, I feel like I'm ready for a change of pace.

Yet...there's still so much that needs to be done here before school is over! I feel like there's no time to meet with all the people I want to meet with, do the bible studies I need to do, and plan the things I need to plan for the summer. I think I need a warp in the time-space continuum that would allow me to have several days alone to rest and rejuvenate and then several days to plan and prepare, then return me to the present time rested and ready for the next three weeks. Or, I could rest in the truth that God's grace is sufficient for me. (A little tangent on this - I heard a sermon by Dallas Willard, I think, in which he talked about the fact that we get the wrong idea from the word "sufficient". He said that we think of sufficient as "just enough to get by", like if we were to only have bread and water, that would be sufficient for us to survive. But God's grace isn't "just enough to get by". His grace is abundant. He lavishly bestows it upon us. It's good for me to think about it that way.)

For now, I guess I'll just live day by day and trust that God is going to sustain me and that His power is made perfect in my weakness.
