First Day of School

First day of school. Felt good to be back to be able to catch with friends and coursemates. On the other hand, the mad adrenalin rush to complete your readings and assignments on time is starting to seep in bit by bit. I hate it! Why is N&D at Flinders so infamously known for being busy and having tonnes of readings and assignments? Perhaps, that is the difference between the science and the arts stream. These arts students sure have it easy! Anyways, while I got started on my first reading for the semester, this song popped into my head, one that I used to sing during Chapel sessions.

I don't know about tomorrow

I don't know about tomorrow,

I just live from day to day.

I don't borrow from it's sunshine,

For it's skies may turn to gray.

I don't worry o'er the future,

For I know what Jesus said,

And today I'll walk beside Him,

For He knows what is ahead.

Refrain:

Many things about tomorrow,

I don't seem to understand;

But I know

Who holds tomorrow,

And I know Who holds my hand.

Ev'ry step is getting brighter,

As the golden stairs I climb;

Ev'ry burden's getting lighter;

Ev'ry cloud is silver lined.

There the sun is always shining,

There no tear will dim the eyes,

At the ending of the rainbow,

Where the mountains touch the sky.

Refrain

I don't know about tomorrow,

It may bring me poverty;

But the One Who feeds the sparrow,

Is the One Who stands by me.

And the path that be my portion,

May be through the flame or flood,

But His presence goes before me,

And I'm covered with His blood.

Its true! I don't know what will happen tomorrow and I will never seem to understand but I have this assurance from my Lord that whatever happens, it is by his will. Yes, my coursework may bore me and occupy most of my time but I am assured that this is part of the great plan that the Lord has for me.

Lord, thank you for reminding me of your presence whenever we are in doubt or are lost and looking for a direction. Lord, thank you for the many friendships that have been forged and for allowing my path and that of others to be crossed so that we may help each other along the way. Thank you, Lord! Amen.
