This post brought to you by three hours of ultimate and linear dynamics.
So, I have a lot of work to do today (tonight). and tomorrow (which is really today?). I've also been tired for multiple days, despite getting enough sleep (at least I'm fairly certain I am). I am, at this moment, all out exhausted. I played some hard ultimate tonight, and I'm straight up tired. My legs are super sore. Today at lunch though, I hadn't played the ultimate yet, but I was still tired and still had lots to do. I was doing a quick lunch, in and out in order to go to the library for the afternoon. While I was sitting power eating, a friend walked past and said, "Hey, how's it going?" You know, the normal little small talk question that usually doesn't get a real answer. I said I was tired, and busy, and a little stressed. I probably looked like it too. In response, she said something along the lines of, "Well, Jesus loves you!" Now, maybe it's just me, but sometimes it can be irritating to hear that because we (I) think, yeah, ok, that's great. Now what about all the junk that's going on right now. What about my test tomorrow. and the homework. and the speech. It's all about us, in the small picture. We don't widen our view. Sure, we have to worry about those things (as in work on), but in the big picture, we are still loved by the Creator of all things. We are still saved by His sacrifice. We are still being held in His hand. Things really aren't too bad. Hearing that this afternoon helped me keep things in perspective a bit. It was good.
That's all. Now for a little sleep and a lot of homework. Hopefully this flows a little and makes some sense. After all, there's a reason I try not to stay up too late.
