I began school today! The first day of school is always interesting. Excitement for the semester, meeting new people, reuniting with old friends…it's all so fun! Usually, that excitement doesn't last long after the first day, though.
Soon, you're wrapped up in more studying than sleeping, you have more quizzes than you can keep track of, and you forget which homework belongs to which class…it all becomes hazy and it's easy to lose sight of what's important. That's why I made myself this:
I bought this frame for $6.00 at Big Lots a looong time ago and I never got around to putting pictures in it. Finally, after a long rest in my closet, it came out. I took it to the schoolroom to put pictures in it… however, God had another plan for it instead! It was raining that afternoon and the schoolroom was empty and I was inspired! I decided to put encouraging quotes and Scripture to help me focus on what's really important throughout the school year. I spent a nice, peaceful afternoon doing this. I'm so glad God gave me that idea! It is being put into such good use now!
This semester's craziness has already started and I feel a bit overwhelmed with all the work, but I know that having God's Word near in my heart will keep me peaceful and calm. That's why I'm so glad I made this! Every time I look at it, I'm encouraged. I'm motivated to spend time with the Lord. I'm encouraged knowing that I can pass any class if I put my mind to it and ask the Lord for help. I know I will get through this first semester as a full-time student because the Lord is with me and will guide me.
