it's a Monday
As I pulled up to school this morning, I saw a cute little dust devil off to the side of my car. While absentmindedly admiring the tricks that wind can play with the loose dirt that lies all over Arizona, I realized that it smelled funny...and that it was coming from under my hood. Oh dear. Turn car off, check engine, can't see anything now, run to class, call Daddy.
Thanks be that today is Monday, when I am at school for many, many hours straight and don't have to go to work! Thanks also be to sisters who offer their cars, friends who offer their trucks, and friends who look under my hood and help me out. Extra thanks to daddies who come out to campus after work to dig around in engines in the dark and wait for the late tow truck while you go home and do homework. (that's you, Elisabeth, Shantel, Josh, and Daddy! You are all appreciated!) And another thanks that mom happens to be working out of state this week, so while my car sits as a lump in the driveway, I have a vehicle to get to classes, work, and observations. God is good, even (or especially?) in the midst of life's trials. He will always provide!
Matthew 6:25-34
"Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."

It's like you were saying: It's "the sufficiency of Christ." :)
