As we all know, school has started back! Whether you’re going into middle school, high school, or college, each year you’re given a clean slate and you determine the outcome! It’s easy to give into temptations or to travel down the wrong path, but you have to stay strong. Use this school year to make a difference! Branch out, talk to new people, join a club, or find a new hobby. Do something to keep you busy! Each year you’re given more opportunities, but do you take advantage of them? Maybe or maybe not, but I highly encourage you to get out of your comfort zone. Don’t look back years from now saying, “dang it, I should have tried out” or “I really wish I would have joined that club back in high school.” Take advantage of every opportunity and make this year the best one yet!!

If you’re like me, than you are very spiritual person. I rely solely in my faith to get me through any circumstance. I know that at the end of the day I can always turn to God for help. Whether I’m having a bad day, or just struggling school-wise, I know that MY God never fails. He is the answer to anything and everything! God laid it on my heart to share some my favorite bible verses that have always motivated me! I know this world is tough, and I know that we all stay so busy, but don’t forget that you can always look for comfort in Christ. Try to take time out of your day just to pray and worship Jesus. I promise, it will make a world’s of a difference! I hope these verses help you like they’ve helped me!
