It's that time of the year again when everyone on Facebook starts talking about their classes starting up for the fall. This is my 7th fall semester, and no I'm not going into the medical field. I'm still struggling for my BA Degree.
I've swtiched majors a couple of times(more like 5) and this has set me back. I've always tried to take on more than I can handle, because for some reason I feel like I thrive under stress. The older I get the more I realize that this stress that I put myself under causes me to be a person I don't like to be around. It should come as no surprise that others don't like to be around me either. But each semester I pile on more and more classes while trying to work two jobs. I place myself in this situation therefore I have no reason to complain.
I read Psalms 62 today and verses 1 and 2 put me at ease.
"1 Truly my soul finds rest in God;
my salvation comes from him.
2 Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will never be shaken."
This semester I'm trying something new. Before I get started in my classes(which start in a little over an hour) I'm turning them over to God. I don't want to be shaken this go round. I'm finally starting to see an ending to my college career, or at least I know what all I have left to take. I wish I'd made this realization sooner, maybe things would have worked out better.
I'm trying to keep in mind that everything happens for His glory and that my journey so far hasn't been in vain, but starting today I'm going to try to make it worthwhile as I truly seek His will in this semester. I hope you do too...
I'm a "stress" person too. I'm very jealous of those people out there in the world who lives without stress. How do they really do it?? I know you will be great at whatever you decide to do with your life, Travis!
