Blessed in so many ways
This post was a response to another blog post that mentioned that people don't need to feel overwhelmed with life, but just to take it one day at a time and trust in God. Some content was added to fully explain the wonderful situation:
Thank you for this posting! I actually have been working with the very same ideas you mentioned in this post. I recently graduated from college leaving myself with endless opportunities of paths to take in life. Of course it was a little overwhelming at first.
