Every time I get overwhelmed, I get over-dramatic.  Clearly, things are never as bad as they are at that very moment of overwhelming-ness. Tonight is one of those times.  I have an exam in the morning.  I feel inadequate in every area of my life.  I have knots in my back.  I haven't had enough coffee. I have a paper due Friday. I leave for New York for fall break on Saturday.  
But. I have friends who love me enough to send me sermons, call me out on being prideful, and encourage me when I need it.  I am inadequate, and I'm only enough because grace makes me enough.  I try to control things, and it never works.  I should stop that.
So.  In this moment of overwhelming-ness, I'm stopping to pray.  Stopping to refocus, and remember why I'm taking classes like Living and Working in a Multicultural Context in the first place.  I'm stopping with the over-dramatic stuff.  I'll survive.
