At 7:30 this morning, my second semester of college started and all of sudden I was overwhelmed with stress. The thought of everything that has to be done and everything that I want to do in the next five months stresses me out. I knew that before this semester started, I would have a lot to do. I refused to think about it because I knew how much it would stress me out.
This semester I’m taking an extremely hard class that will require a lot of my attention and a lot of studying. I have to maintain my job. I have to plan fundraisers and raise at least $6,000 by May. I’ve started meeting with a mentor. I would like to try and get into shape for the race. And so many other things that I would like to get done.
As I was driving to class and thinking about everything, of course the enemy started telling me that I’ve stretched myself to far and I will never get everything done. Not exactly the way I wanted to start my day.
But I remind myself daily, sometimes more, that God is my provider. He is my place of comfort. I can run to Him when I need a place of peace. I remind myself that I haven’t stretched myself to far and that everything will get done in His timing. I remind myself that He has called me to do all of this and He will provide for me.
“And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19
