Giving this a try

I've been pretty anxious lately, waiting to hear back from SPU about grad school, combined with the stress of looking for a job when not many places are hiring! I was told that SPU would contact me last week, and therefore spent business hours, Monday through Friday, checking my email about every 5 minutes. It was a rough week, especially when 5pm Friday rolled around and I hadn't heard back. Then I realized that since Monday was a holiday, the earliest I would hear was Tuesday. So I was anticipating a weekend of anxiety, with this weighing pretty heavily on my mind. However, after a Saturday night breakdown, I decided that I'd try something that, for those who know me well, I haven't done in awhile, and it's a bit of a stretch. I decided I'd give this up, and do my best to trust God. After all, isn't he supposed to be in control, and have my best interests at heart? Perhaps its a trial run in preparation of jumping back into this faith thing. But it's worked. The rest of my weekend was virtually anxiety-free, and today I only checked my email about once an hour! I still haven't heard from SPU, but I'm feeling more at peace. God will work things out the way they are supposed to be. It feels strange to say that, but it's nice to finally let go and let the one who is really in control handle the stress.
