And see that all these things are done in wisdom and order; for it is not requisite that a man should run faster than he has strength. And again, it is expedient that he should be diligent, that thereby he might win the prize; therefore, all things must be done in order.
I am feeling so totally worn out, mentally & physically. I'm in the thick of things with school right now. I have two papers due next week and two finals the week after that. I'm trying to put together a service project for each of the Foster and Ballantyne families for Christmas. I just recently got called as the 1st counselor in the Young Women's presidency. Christmas is looming large and I have only done a bare minimum of shopping. I feel exhausted all of the time because I'm not getting enough sleep or exercise or eating well. So today, I picked up the scriptures to find some words of comfort to help me keep going. This scripture came to mind and it is exactly what I needed to hear. All of these things that I am trying to balance in my life need to be done in wisdom and order. There is definitely an order of priorities and I just physically can't do it all. I just need to make sure that the things I do choose to spend my time on are the things that matter most. No, I can't just bag my papers because I know my children are more important. But I can make sure I don't spend an absurd amount of time on them. I will pray for the Lord's help in accomplishing the things that matter most and that He will give me the serenity to let go of the things that I just can't do.
