Speaking of busy, I've been really busy. And you know what that means? stress. I must say, I am one known not to handle stress very well. The things I'm stressed about constantly weigh on me, and even cause my muscles to tense up. These are only a few reasons why stress is as huge problem.
This year is a much different year than last. Many things have changed, and that makes it very easy for me to be stressed. I let academics stress me out, time stress me out, people stress me out, commitments stress me out--honestly, you name it and it stresses me out. These things are many times overbearing, overwhelming, challenging, and inconsistent. Stress causes me to be easily frustrated and focused on myself. It's just bad.
Today, God has been teaching me. He has been showing me that He is my consistency and peace. He is always forgiving, always loving, always teaching, always comforting, always uplifting. always. No matter what I do, no matter what changes, He is always there.
With this knowledge as my foundation, nothing can get to me. God will strengthen me and uphold me. He gives me a constant joy and peace, in His word and in getting to know Him more. Seriously, He is so good. And although I know I'll never be perfect, and I know that I will mess up along my walk with Him--He's there.
So freely, I give myself to Him- my attitude, my stress, my confusion, my worries, my frustrations. He can take them all. I am here to serve, love, and grow closer to Him. I can make that my focus no matter what is going on around me.
Here am I, all of me.
Take my life, its all for Thee.
This is so awesome :) I love the part where you talk about knowing this knowledge as your foundation then being able to not let anything get to you. So true when you talk about the Lord strengthening me and upholding you. :)
