I contemplated for days and soon those days turned into weeks about what my next posts would be about. Getting back into the swing of college life after a break was tough. A whole new major and life at school did not stop for anyone. A new year and new decade brought about change in my life for good. With that stated, I have spent a lot of time with God and in prayer to reclaim my life and have a stronghold to the one who is in charge of it all.
Being a Psychology major, I am able to see how development shapes us to who we become and who we are. It helps me see why we react certain ways or how we function in our daily lives. Being a believer in Christ, I feel it is important to know and understand His people. He created each of us so differently and to be such complex individuals and to study and understand all of this is fascinating.
As I have been focusing more on my spiritual well-being and my relationship with God, the devil has been trying to come at me in the form of stress, worry, and jumping to conclusions. My mom has always told me that "Those who believe in Him, the devil tries to steal, kill, and destroy." It is true, but my faith will only get stronger because in times of feeling defeated by circumstances, I will trust in God more because I know He has always got my back and He has my life in His hands.
Tying it back to Psychology, I believe God puts these internal strife in our lives for us to come back to Him and cling tight to His will and plan for our lives.
