the first was the “br/” tag, and the second was “P” & “/P” and the third was “DIV” and “/DIV”. make sure you add “” around those.

Take a deep breath. Relax. Don't sweat the small stuff -- and loosing a cleaverly worded post may cause your nerves to unravel some, but it is really a small thing in life's big picture. God can use everythings in our lives to teach us if we will let Him. He can use frustration, disappointment, failure, success, grief, happiness, joy and the list is endless. Remember that our God is sovereign. Everything that happens has its purpose and reason. We may not understand the "whys" at the moment (and we may never under why some things happen becausse God is not obligated to explain His ways to us) but we can trust the One who why because He is sovereign. He is still on His throne. He is in control. And, He is coming again soon to complete what He started. I hope and pray that your adventure in Philly will be a time where you will allow the Lord to guide you. Allow Him to guide you daily moment by moment. Trust Him in the "small stuff" as well as the big. Allow His perfect love to flow through you daily to the people around you. I believe that God has a plan and purpose for your internship there in Philly which is bigger than anything you can imagine. God can use you to may a difference in the lives of maybe someone you meet riding public transit or walking down the street. As a believer in Jesus Christ you may be the only "Jesus" they will ever meet. Don't let the "small" inconveniences and frustrations of daily living in a high tech world rob you of the opportunity to demonstrate the difference Jesus makes in your life. How can we convince the poeple around us that Jesus can make an eternal difference in their life if they don't see the reality of that marvelous trust at work in us? I like what Dr. Chuck Swindoll said in his booklet on attitude. He described attitude as about 10% what happens and 90% how we respond to it. While I hope to read soon about your reflections about the steeple and see the pictures of your living quarters, I am more interested in seeing and hearing about what Christ is teaching you about Himself in your daily life.
