As school picks back up into its normal groove of overwhelming amounts of homework and multiple club activities, life can get pretty hectic. The older I get, the more difficult it is to maintain a social life, school life and spiritual life all together. It's during these times I find myself sometimes losing who I am, making me feel all sorts of emotions because I feel as if I have gone off the track God has planned for me. With that being said, here are some scriptures to help you realize what God really thinks of you.
