Dead week, true to its name
So, the week right before finals is termed "dead week" because
everything is due and its just a mad dash to the end. Then finals come
and you feel like you have had no time to study because you've been
writing papers up the wa-zoo. So you feel totally inprepared and, if
you're anything like me, you worry and freak out that you're going to
fail your finals and fail all your classes and you're super irrational
and yeah, that's me. So for me, it's been dead week for about the past
month. School has become such a stressor to me that it's overwhelming.
I have felt this immense weight on my shoulders that simply feels like
I need to take a deep breath and it will be fine. Well I take a deep
breath and the weight doesn't go away because there is so much on my
mind. The only time I ever feel completely at peace with nothing to
worry about is in the presence of God when I am either worshiping in
church, reading my Bible, or just sitting in His presence before bed.
So that has been my favorite place recently but then I wrestle with,
why can't I find God amidst the chaos? Why only those times do I let
His peace envelop me? Well today I've been hit with his peace. The
weight is not lifted off of my shoulders but it was this one song we
sang at high school group tonight that hit me. While I'm trying to
retain all this knowledge for my finals and thinking I need to do it on
my own, God has created the stars and could tell me each one of their
names. Why don't I just trust HIM and have HIM help me with the
knowledge I need to retain for these tests. For grades don't matter if
all was done for the glory of God (I'm gonna remember that when grades
come out...). Simple it seems, I know. I think I've really struggled
with not including God in my school work this semester, but I'm going
to do it right these last three days of school. God is in control and I
would have it no other way! Thanks for listening! The wieght will truly
be lifted when I'm on a plane to Pennsylvania with the country beneath
me and my love next to me. God is faithful and I love it!
The Song: It's on air one, I don't know the name. Here is the chorus.
In describable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and you know them by name,
You are amazing, God.
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim,
You are amazing, God
