Yesterday was an extremely eventful day. I was at home (in Aurora) just laying around at 10 am. Hadn't showered, brushed my teeth, or really done anything. I was trying to recover from my week at Masonic Band camp where I helped as a Junior Band Assistant and was also spending a little more time with my niece before she and my sister and brother-in-law heading back for Colorado. After they left, I saw on my phone that I received an email from my boss at the after-school program I work at with this weeks schedule. Since I didn't get one earlier, I assumed that meant I wasn't working but I decided to read it anyway. Good thing I did because low and behold there was my name! I was scheduled to work from 11-6 in Elkhorn. I instantly panicked because Elkhorn is about a two hour drive from Aurora. I quickly grabbed my shirt and my keys and ran out the door. I eventually got a hold of my boss and explained to her what happened. She was very understanding and told me to get there as soon as I could which eased my stress a little. But I still really hate being late. And since I left in such a hurry, all of my stuff was still at my house back in Aurora, so after work I drove all the way back. I then woke up extremely early this morning to pack and gather up all my things so I could drive back to Omaha and head in to work at 10 am. I am actually pretty excited to go to work today though because we are going on a field trip to a baseball game. I'm sure this will be a very interesting trip since we will be taking around 160 to a baseball game in the middle of a hot day, but we will see what God has in store for that little adventure.
Today, my devotional (Jesus Calling) was talking about seeking perfection and how Jesus wants to fulfill out yearning for perfection. This devotional has been so amazing because I feel like ever single entry speaks right to my heart. I am always striving for perfection. From big things like classes and work to small things like packing for my trip. And, obviously, I am never going to reach it in everything I do. But having God with me and knowing that He is all perfect is so comforting. Because no matter how far from perfect I may be, He will always love me 100% and he will fill my need for perfection.
Even though I am nervous for my project, I know that if I give it everything I have, the Lord is going to use it to transform my life. I just need to follow Him and trust him.
