They forgot the most important one - pray.
Abandoning senseless expectations.
My sanity is brought into question yet again as I near my upcoming junior year. Don’t get me wrong - I’m very excited to face the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead with God at my side. However, I know that next year will be loaded with hundreds of expectations and I am confused as to how I should respond. The same questions seem to lurk at the back of my mind, waiting to reveal themselves to me at the opportune moment. Will I still be able to juggle the stressful classes I’ve been taking for most of my life? What impact do I want to make in someone’s life now that I am a student leader? How will I accept the challenges that come with being a new upperclassman? Today, as I took the time to step back and take these things to prayer in Adoration, a deep sense of His presence overwhelmed me. And it was only then that I understood what God was trying to tell me all along whenever I’d feel weighed down by all these pressing expectations.
