Megan's prayer: Cheer Up Charlie's "Rockstar"

At 2:30am this morning, I printed off my final paper for the semester. I had made it. I had finished all the papers, projects, observations, and exams. For three minutes, I had this wonderful feeling of “It’s done!” and then I laid down in my bed, and instantly my mind started racing, reminding me of just how much I still have left to do before Christmas.

As soon as I woke up this morning, I turned on my computer and started to listen to “Rockstar” in an attempt to prepare me for the day. It’s a catchy tune, one that will most likely be in my head all day. The words that I keep singing over and over are…

“We’ve got a ways to go, we’ve got a ways to go. A ways to go, we’ve got a ways to go.”

I appreciate this little reminder from God. I thought that since exams were over I would have this time to just rest, but in reality, we are in the last push of Advent – the time for me to prepare myself for the coming of Christ – and I still have a ways to go before I am ready for that.

Thank you, God, for helping me get a better perspective of what is important in my life. And thank you for sending it in such a catchy tune. I’ll be singing it, and thinking about you, all day.
