-a quotation taken from St. Augustine's 'Confessions'.
It is so true. Lately I have been getting caught up in my agenda. I am excited about this semester's great classes, percussion lessons, and jazz band. I have been thinking a lot about how to fit all this together with prayer, working out, and other house duties, and I have been planning in my head a lot. There is some sort of drive that clouds out everything else once I start constantly anticipating.
Lately my relationship with God has been clouded by my letting school become a distraction. I am so busy trying to make things happen, I cling to my schedule. I lose my ability to 'let go and let God'. But he is constant - I can trust only in him. He will never fail me. My schedule may fail. I may fail a class. But God will never fail me as long as I allow him to lead me. As long as I accept his gift of grace, I can be at peace.
Jesus is the only one who can give us perfect peace. When we can accept that we are not perfect, and that nothing on this planet is perfect, we can then come before the cross, remember what Jesus did for us (and continues to do for us), and sit quietly in peace.
"His love endures forever" Psalm 100:5
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us!
