Where God's Word Meets Our Mess
It’s true that stress is normal and that you'll probably experience it throughout your life. But we all get stressed, and the world isn’t as awful as it seems in the midst of our stress. Here are five ways to handle stressful seasons of life.
We can blame our bad habit of chronic worrying on our circumstances by claiming that they merit our worry. But to be blunt, all of our worries (including mine) have doubt at their core.
To be honest, this summer wasn’t easy for me. It was a rollercoaster of anxiety, happiness, fear, discouragement, excitement, frustration, eagerness, and doubt. But I’m still here. I survived the summer of 2018. And I learned a few life-changing lessons along the way.
Last week, we discussed three of the greatest fears of future college students. But most incoming college students have more than three major fears about college, so I’m going to discuss two more today.
I had lots of fears about college, but if I wrote about all of them, this post would be way too long! I think that we should focus on the top five fears that future college students have.
As frustrating as sleeplessness may be, we can learn to be content in it for one reason alone: God is with us through it. Whether we're awake or asleep, He still loves us and desires our obedience. He is protecting us. He is holding us. He is shaping us. Even in sleeplessness. This poem is for the insomniacs, the tired, and the weary.
As I write this post, I'm preparing to go back to college. I had a lovely break of doing absolutely no homework. I spent time with my family, attended my church, and hung out with my friends. I cooked meals in my own kitchen, showered in my own shower, and slept in my own bed. I enjoyed being home. But now I must return to my home away from home—the far-away land called "College." And I’m just not ready to go back there.
What will I do when I’m forced to be with people constantly? What will happen when I’m only able to see my family once a month for very short periods of time? What will be my fate as an introverted freshman who's terrified of making new friends? What if I can't "do" college?
How should we respond to the people who are different than us? After all, aren’t we supposed to treat everyone equally? Aren’t we not supposed to judge people? In a word, yes.
