Stress.

Stress. 

It seems to wash over me like the waves in the sea. One moment the stress is there and next moment I am embracing the dry sand and sun. This week has been a tsunami wave for me, except the stress I once before felt is no longer there. I no longer worry about the grades that I will receive because worrying and stressing never made the teacher grade easier or like me more. I have let go of the momentary, the things I have no control over and allow God to do what He does best.

This stress we allow to control us, from daily chores to final exams and ultimately with life altering choices. Rather than allowing God to be in control we have put ourselves as masters and ultimately in bondage to the stress and worry, when it really has no legitimate power over us. One of my favorite verses Philippians 4:6-7  ^[ Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.]

As a college student these past few weeks have been hard, and everyone reacts to the change in workload differently but regardless God has been in control since the beginning of time and He is not going to stop during finals week of Spring 2013.
