Anxiety

I cannot sleep.

Every few seconds, a new item pops into my head that I need to buy before Friday. Moving in is fun and all, but it's really stressing me out right now. And then I'm thinking of how the room is going to be arranged and who could help me move the furniture if needed. Oh, and then I think about what I'm going to put into those drawers in the closet. I'm really going to miss my walk in closet. I'm also going to miss a brightly lit hallway late at night. Dude, I've been to that hall at night. It's scary. The exit sign flashes and it's like a scene out of a scary movie. That made me think about where I can get a pocket flashlight...

Anyways. Every moment is a blessing, but I truly received a blessing today! I'm such a lazy procrastinator so I was looking if there was a passage from Spirit of Prophecy that addresses that. I didn't find one that especially spoke out to me at the moment, so I left it alone. Then, I opened up my Bible and I recalled James 1:1-15 that I once memorized (*sigh I know the first half still, but I've forgotten the last half). After reading a few chapters, I picked up The Ministry of Healing and read a few things from it. I decided that I should really finish Messages to Young People before I start school, so I started reading it. There, I found a passage that really speaks out to me and it ties the things that I read from (The Ministry of Healing and James 1)all together!

"It is wrong to waste our time, wrong to waste our thoughts. We lose every moment that we devote to self-seeking. If every moment were valued, and rightly employed, we should have time for everything that we need to do for ourselves or for the world. In the expenditure of money, in the use of time, strength, opportunities, let every Christian look to God for guidance. 'If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.' James 1:5"
