Did anything interesting happen today?
Blah day. It was a half-eaten sandwich for lunch at my desk, coming home exhausted, eating a random dinner and running out the door to get to the next thing kind of day.

Did you learn anything new about yourself?
These last couple of days I have been thinking about boundaries and personal responsibility. My therapist asked me to think about the things that I am responsible for when it comes to myself and others. The key to this is boundaries. Dun-Dun-Dun. 
All of this has been brought on by having too many "irons in the fire" as my Mom says. The thing is ... all the irons are great and I love them. BUT it's time to let something go or else I will become a crazy person.

How do you feel about your relationship with God today?
Today I have spent a lot of time in prayer about my upcoming decisions as well as asking others to pray for me and with me. Having someone pray with me is a special treat and I am so thankful that I have people in my life to do that with.
Praying for the peace of Christ to rule in my heart today as I figure out what to let go and what to keep.

How do you feel about your relationships with people today?
Meh. Although tonight I was finally able to catch up with my roommate tonight and talk about everything that has been going on. We commiserated about life, celebrated her new job, and cheered each other on as we talked about the coming weeks!

This is something that I want to remember ...

Did anything interesting happen today?
My roommate and went over to my friends house to watch the season premiere of New Girl. This is one of my very favorite tv shows. I laugh out loud watching every episode. During the commercial breaks my friend and I talked about life and caught up on everything that has been going on. She had a lot to tell me and there were many times that I screamed with delight over her exciting news.

Did you learn anything new about yourself today?
I think that I have officially entered into the stage of life where all my friends are dating, getting married or having a baby. I usually don't struggle with comparing myself to their lives but I often feel left out of the party. I want to share exciting news with my friends too!

How do you feel about your relationship with God today?
God has a way of reading my mind ... here is today's reading from Jesus Calling:
"You will not find My Peace by engaging in excessive planning, attempting to control what will happen to you in the future. This is a commonly practiced form of unbelief. When you mind spins with multiple plans, Peace may sometimes seem to be within your grasp; yet it always eludes you ... I did not design the human mind to figure out the future. That is beyond your capacity. I crafted your mind for continual communication with Me. Bring Me all your needs, your hopes and fears. Commit everything into my Care. Turn from the path of planning to the path of Peace." - Sarah Young
