Just a thought...

I was finishing up the Beartrail this morning... hating the fact that at 6:45 in the morning it was already getting nice and toasty, and I happened to look up at the science building. Now, for those of you who don't go to Baylor, this is a quite impressive building... it is actually the largest academic building in North America (SIC 'EM!). But across the left side, next to where I was walking, it proudly proclaims in stone "BY HIM ALL THINGS ARE MADE."
And as David Crowder blared in my ears, it made me stop and think. We do not make things in our own power. We do not do things in our own power. He gives us the strength, the tools, and the knowledge we need to do those things. And He gives us just enough for the task ahead. 
It was a comforting thought... I'm facing some big scary choices, and I know I don't have all the answers. But I know the one who does. And I know He will give me enough to make it through each day in His strength, so that I can look back and say that it was not me who made this work, it was Him.
