Today's Daily 5:

1. birds singing in the early morning
2. warmer weather that meant I could wear one less layer for the trek to and from school today
3. Psalm 77 in The Message
4. an exam I was really worried about that went fairly smoothly
5. laughing over a teaser video for the next episode of The Big Bang Theory
6. Taking a nap
7. Getting really great news about the final (though still unofficial grade) I'll receive in one of my classes
8. that my second exam of the day also went smoothly
9. being DONE for the semester (here's hoping I get accepted and am back at school in the fall)
10. celebrating with Macdonald's comfort food

From the Moravians

On a day where I was up late studying, woke from odd dreams again, and was out the door before 7am to write the first of two exams for the day, this daily text from the Moravians seemed particularly appropriate:

I will satisfy the weary, and all who are faint I will replenish.
Jeremiah 31:25

Jesus ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. And all ate and were filled. Matthew 14:19-20

Redeemer of our souls, we hear the noises of everyday living and feel panicked. Give us a moment of calm to re-center ourselves in your spirit. Surround us with your love. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
