I was having trouble sleeping this morning, so I woke up around 5 am and started reading The Weight of Glory by C.S. Lewis. I came across this paragraph that just really spoke to where I am in my life right now:

"Never, in peace or war, commit your virtue or your happiness to the future. Happy work is best done by the man who takes his long-term plans somewhat lightly and works from moment to moment 'as to the Lord.' It is only our daily bread that we are encouraged to ask for. The present is the only time in which any duty can be done or any grace received."

Being at this transition point in my life, all I can do is think about the distant future. I'm so worried that whatever decisions or jobs I take right now might somehow screw up my future life. I really love Lewis' reference to the Lord's Prayer. I often times forget that Jesus told us to take everything a day at a time:

"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." -Matthew 6:34

That passage in The Weight of Glory was just really what I needed to realize right now. How gracious.
