I have started the official countdown. 30 Days to go. On May 21st school will officially be D-O-N-E! Sal would argue that he will be the most excited about it, but I strongly disagree. It has been a very long....l-o-n-g....5 years at CIU. Good years I think. (the verdict is still out) It has definitely been a time that stretched us and tried us. I had a totally different idea as to what or where we would be at the end of this. To be completely honest it doesn't feel anything like I thought. I am glad it's almost over and I am most definitely thrilled that Sal will not have school taking up his time.
I was thinking about it and I realized how often I countdown the days to different events in life. By doing that I realized I am cheating myself of fully experiencing what God has for me today.
I want to be content in the now of my life regardless of how hard or common I may think it feels and looks. Because, really, the later isn't always what I think it will be.
What He has given me today and now is all that I need and I trust that it is the best for me today.

I know that will be so great for you all when he is finished, such an accomplishment. but i know what you mean about always counting down. i've been praying the same thing, that God would help me enjoy today - because i'm always looking to the end. thanks for the encouragment.
So true Mari, we need to enjoy the moments of today. None of us are promised tomorrow. God talks a lot about "today", you know? Just a couple I can think of are, "Today is the day of your salvation"; "Choose this day whome you will serve"; the list goes on. Hope you have a great weekend!
