Finals are finally here. I can feel the anxiety in me rise just typing this right now. I'm not sure I have ever been this stressed about finals in my whole college career. These finals can make of break me. These finals are so important for my future career.
I work at an on campus job. It's a daycare for students, faculty, and alumni of the school I go to. The stress level of the employees this week has been crazy hard. One little oops and you get blown up (or think your getting blown up on). God has been teaching me that my school stress should not effect my work and visa versa. This is hard sometimes!! Today, I hadn't even gotten my foot in the door and somehow I had already done something wrong. At that point, I said ok. Fixed it. Took a deep breath and said out loud "This is going to be a good day." I had to take a minute and remind myself that I've been stressed out because of school and not take that out on someone at work. My kids still need to feel my love. They still need to be took care of and that is my job.
Sometimes little reminders like "this is going to be a good day" is all we need. The bible says "Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint." (Isaiah 40:30, 31 NLT) God is always there to give us strength, to allow us to say "this is going to be a good day." Letting God help you is crucial.
Finals are here but God will help me control my stress levels.
