First off- ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
That is basically how my life has been recently. Stress and anxiety over school work was intense, I'm trying to figure out how to pay for college, and I have been battling a serious case of "senioritis." Saying good-bye to the life I've been so comfortable living is extremely hard. I've finished my competitive swim career (on a high note, I might add), 6 years of Bible Quizzing, and soon my 4-H career will be coming to a close. I just took midterms for my last semester of high school. I know that it's time, but I'm not ready to leave my comfort-zone quite yet. It terrifies me to think of living on my own.
We all feel afraid of the future at some time in our lives. Whether its moving out on your own or a sickness being battles, the future is scary. The one thing that can soothe me when I'm making myself crazy thing about what the future may or may not hold is the fact that I have a God. A God in heaven who is great! A God in heaven who is all-knowing! A God in heaven that cares! He cares about me. He cares about my future, He even has it completely planned out. No amount of worrying on my part will ever change the plans God has for me. In Jeremiah, God tells us that He has plans for our life that are for good. Did you get that?? GOOD! Everything that is going to happen in your future is for your good.
Remember this when life kicks you down; God loves you. He cares about you. Talk to Him. Pour your heart out to Him. He listens, and He wants you to know that His plans are not to harm you, but to give you a future and a hope.
