With the highs comes the lows- the least expected lows. As it’s been two months since I’ve been accepted to serve for our Lord it’s also been two months into my senior year. What I see as the craziest time of all. As college is on everyone’s frontal lobe and stress is at an all time high I only feel myself going through the motions. From waking up and getting ready for an eight-hour day at school, to turning around to go to work for six hours- by that time it is approximately 10:30 pm and somehow I am supposed to finish 1-4 hours of homework and still make time to have a social life and a healthy relationship with my family. Overall I feel draining- completely and utterly drained. I constantly have people telling me, ‘just push through’ or ‘manage your time better’ and I just find myself thinking: “What time are they speaking of because there’re only 24 hours a day and 14 of them are already dedicated to mandatory priorities.”
Leaning on God during these difficult times is truly the only thing that has been keeping me sane. I know that if I just continue pursuing Jesus and keep His word in my heart and continue to lay these burdens at His feet and not keep them weighing on my heart that I will be okay.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.” Isaiah 43:2
God is so incredible and I pray all of you pursue Him.
