Blamelessness

Yesterday was my last Monday of classes for the semester.  I already had a checklist in my brain as to how much I had to get done and then I was given another project.  My plan to study ahead and to be prepared was put on the back burner. I became very frustrated and very overwhelmed.  In my attempt to accomplish my checklist in one day, I became disappointed.  I tried so hard to evaluate four garments, finish my screen print, and create a buying plan all in ONE DAY. I was in the Academic Complex from 9am - 4:30 pm.  My brain would not focus.  My screen print was not perfection.
I wondered why my day went so wrong.

I was trying to control it on my own. 
This morning in my devotional it talked about blamelessness.  It discussed Job and how he lived a life blameless.  He walked in consistency in every area of his life.  
We are not called to live a life of sinless perfection, but rather a lifestyle that is growing and conforming to His Word.  I can not handle this world on my own.  The Lord is the only way I can do anything.   
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.  James 1:2-4
