Lord, have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways...

2 A.M. TWO IN THE A.M. 

I am wondering, "What the heck are ya doin' up ya crazy lady?" 

Applying for jobs. Yes, big kid jobs. You have your first application for AmeriCorps due on June 1st. Yeah ten days ago that seemed far away and you felt like you had plenty o' time. But guess what Buck-o, you have one day now. ONE DAY TO FINISH. And you're almost done. You sent off the majority of it to your amazing wizardrous (I know that's not a word but it's late/early bare with me here) career services Advisor. Lord, bless that women's gracious soul. You are not going to get references together and your last bit done right now. You know it. I definitely know it. You are meeting with the supervisor for this job tomorrow and you need to be on your game so go to bed ya cray-cray. 

Oh look... there is a job opening up in Bend. It just opened yesterday and closes in 12 days. It's an even bigger job than the one you're applying for. I know you want to get on that but slow your roll Sara Lee. Sleep is on the agenda whether you like it or not.  

Rest. You know that is what He is telling you right now. Why are you worrying like you do so often? He will take care of you if you put your best foot forward and leave it in His glorious hands. Climb into His hands and rest. Just. Rest. Breathe. Rest.

"Lord, have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways."

Breathe in Grace,
You
