As I’m sitting outside on a beautiful day, the dread of class is looming over my head. It’s completely ruining the whole beautiful day thing. I’ve got midterms, practicums, work, class and something I seem to sacrifice the most, sleep, that all need to be done and somehow I always feel like I come up short.

It’s come to my attention recently, for a great deal of people, classes are overwhelming and create more anxiety than anything else in their lives. Isn’t that just sad??

I was told going to college was going to be this liberating experience. A place where I would have fun all the time and still pass all the classes, but that is far from the truth.

Spending hours and hours on end studying, just to get a C on that test so hopefully your GPA is above a 2.5, doesn’t sound like a wonderful four years to me.

But it’s weird because it feels like it’s all worth it.

When you’re in the field and major that God wants you to be, whether it’s financial management or secondary education, all the studying, stress, tears and worry is worth it. I was reading in Ecclesiastes 3:22 where it said “So I saw that there is nothing better for a person than to enjoy their work, because that is their lot.” When you’re doing what God has planned for you, He will help you through it. He is always right and always beside you, even when you feel like you can’t do it or you’ll never get that C on the test so your GPA is a 2.5 so you can get a scholarship back.

So while you’re stressing out, pray. Make sure what you’re doing is in His plans and not yours.

HE is worth it, YOU are worth it.
