College Applications

     Does anyone feel like I do? These applications are looming over my head. I’m thinking, why didn’t I go early decision like the smart kids, haha. Yeah this time is full of stress especially considering all of the homework I’ve got to do on top. It doesn’t help that I feel utterly lost in Physics right now. School is tough. It’s definitely trying on me but as I’ve been typing this I was just reminded of something I read this morning:

“In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith-of greater worth than gold… may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.”

1st Peter 1:6-7

     So perhaps if I’m doing all things as if they were for the Lord and not men then maybe the trials I face with stress are testers of my faith. Not to say that God is purposely weighing me down with anxiety but that he can use the opportunity as a tool for my growth. I’m encouraged and thank my Father who gives me strength.
