I don't know what it is about starting a new semester, maybe the changes that come, the anxiety of starting more classes, the fear of failing, the stride to perfection, I don't know, but a new semester always brings about a feeling of being completely overwhelmed.
This semester has been a little worse than those in the past. I can't quite put my finger on why, but I am filled with anxiety. I am nervous that I overbook myself and that I won't be able to do all of the things that I need to and want to. I set such a high standard for myself and I am always disappointed in myself when I don't reach those standards.
This afternoon as I was trying to calm myself down, I decided that I would write a quote or two that I can refer to when I start feeling overwhelmed. One that I found today really hit me, "Sometimes when we get overwhelmed, we forget how big God is." I realized that I am so overwhelmed that I forget the big picture that God has for me. When I pray and ask for a sense of peace and calm, I usually always receive it.
I don't know if it's just the anxiety of a new semester or what, but I know that with God I can do all things. I may not live up to my expectations, but I can turn to Him and He will help me be happy and feel the peace and calm that I desire!
Hope all is well!
Love,
Rach
