I'm Tired of Numbers

As I scurried across campus today, I realized the vast amount of numbers that control my life and my actions and frankly, I'm sick of it.

What's your GPA? 

How much will you make after graduation? 

How much of that will you give back to the church? 

How much do you weigh? 

How many calories were in that wrap? 

How many people are coming to Cru tonight?

What was my score on that last exam?

How many credits do I take next semester?

*mind explodes*

The vast majority of these numbers that control my life are arbitrary and man-made and I want for a brief second to take all of those numbers off of my shoulders and relax into the arms of Jesus. That's what I want. 
I'm so incredibly excited for Heaven, where the numbers will have no relevance. There will be One. That's it. I think I'll spend the first glimpse of eternity in the arms of my Savior so thankful that the numbers are no longer pressuring me in every move.
