STRESSED

So. Like my beautiful line sister Brittany, I was stressed too. I put my all in all my schoolwork and guess what? I was not only tired, but it just was not working out. I was not performing in excellence. And then I was trying to do things in my organizations, and I just never had the time...I could not figure it out. I prayed. About EVERYTHING. And then I ran across this scripture, John 6:63. The beginning states that the Spirit alone can give eternal life. But it was the second sentence that really hit me hard:

"Human effort accomplishes nothing."

Um. Yes, God, I understand.

I was trying to do everything on my own strength, power, creativeness, and thought-process. As much as I prayed, I didn't once give it to God, submit it, lay it at His feet, nothing. And once I did, I felt fine. Made me think about how much stress could have been avoided had I been doing this from jump. Hmmm.

That's all. Think about it.
