Win is...

... stressed out ...

The past 2 or 3 days have been rough. I've been scrambling to get things ready for my move tomorrow, losing sleep because of said scrambling, losing focus at work because of said sleep loss, and on top of that I've been feeling very lonely the past couple days. It is very tempting in times like these to slip back into my old patterns of thought and feeling -- worry, fear, and frustration. Why can't people keep their commitments to me? Am I facing these difficulties because You are displeased with my decision to move?

Well, when I think about it, I think You are pleased with my decision to move, because I know I've got very good and unselfish reasons for doing so. I've also received affirmation and encouragement in the decision from several wiser people whom I greatly respect and admire. And one of the reasons I've been losing sleep is because I've been staying up late talking with my new roommate (new landlord, more accurately... But he is my best friend, so that's OK...) -- encouragement enough that I can really help him grow closer to You. So given that the decision still seems sound, please help me to see these pieces not falling into place not as a reason to doubt, but as an opportunity to watch You put the puzzle together Yourself. After all, You already know what the finished picture is supposed to look like.
