I agree with that statement made by one of my primarily Spanish-speaking residents earlier today.

I too, feel like I'm going a to 'esplode. I have to figure out ways to be in several different states in the next 3 months and I don't have enough time off for everything as well as my own honeymoon. I'm trying to figure out which condo to buy or even if we should be buying a condo. I'm trying to plan a wedding, and I'm running out of opinions. I need to find someone to rent my apartment for 4 months. Angry teenagers cuss me out on most evenings and weekends and I've almost justified slipping some heavy narcotics into there dinner.

Lo and behold, I have entered the danger zone.

HOWEVER, God has provided me with this cool shut off valve in my head in these stressful circumstances. I'm learning to just focus on what's in front of me at the moment, and that's all I worry about. It has to be by His grace alone that I am still functioning on a somewhat humane level and have the attitude of "it's okay, we'll figure it out somehow." There is just no comprehensible way that that could happen if God was not taking care of me. Thanks for prayers again, friends and family. I really wish I could also have your physical support right now (read: hugs) but that prayer thing totally works and I really do treasure it and there is no way my life would work without it. My fiance, roommate, and church small group are also really helping me out right now, I have their support and there are people in this crazy Minnesotan land that care about me. I'll make it folks, and think of all that stinking character I'm building eh?
