Matthew 6:34

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.


Why is it so hard to remember this? I keep "freaking out" (pardon the phrase) over our pending trip to the Dominican Republic, and it's not for a whole month yet. And why can you never count on people to have things in on time? Why do I volunteer to organize such things?

I ask myself this as I start planning for a big shin-dig in the summer.


Why?

I've already offered my opinion on this dilemma.
But I shall offer it again.
Maria Angelina, need I remind you of the date? It's February the 9th.
Summer "shin-digs" most often take place in the months of July and August.
I'm quite sure that planning could wait until mid-March. (This includes the outline of the planning as well.)

One last reminder: I have many friends who have planned very successful, even large-scale parties in a matter of days. I have complete faith that you could pull it off with only [<- gag] 4 months of planning.

p.s. Excellent use of the phrase "freaking out". You do me proud.

p.p.s. In all seriousness, I'm praying for you about DR stuff. I don't like you to be stressed. <3

I hate having to plan things that involve lots of people all communicating reliably with you. And each day does have enough trouble of its own; at very least, each month has enough trouble of its own to occupy one day's worry, why drag in the summer? Honestly...
ps. still coming Wednesday?
