It’s That Time Again….

So I know that it’s that time of the semester when everything that we’ve seen coming starts to get closer and closer and suddenly, we  have 7 tests, 3 papers, a project and 4 books to read all in 3 weeks. We all start to feel really anxious, stressed, worrisome, we get circles under our eyes and are running on caffeine and adrenalin. Sound like that’s describing you?

First of all- “i’m too busy” is never an excuse to not be with God. Actually, there isn’t really any excuse that one can use to justify not taking the time to be with Him. Take 15 minutes out of your day and devote it strictly to Him and let Him calm your storms, for He is the Prince of peace.

Second of all- we can all get really caught up in needing to get good grades and I just want to remind you that your grades don’t define your character nor do they alter your purpose.  Yes, we should do the best we can in school but we should not make school our idol.  We do not live for our diploma, we live for our God. In the same way that we can’t serve God and money, we can’t serve God and school work.  So the next time you find yourself in a situation in which you’re getting yourself stressed out over a grade, remember that it’s not the end of the world and that He won’t allow you to go unprotected.
