In a society that is always looking for immediate satisfaction, we fall into the current of "controlling" our surroundings and expecting an immediate resolution. We have lost patience and the appreciation for God's timing, agonizing over every move we make and ending up with the antagonizing question of "what if"; when God has clearly told us to trust in him, that he will provide and never forsake us. Yet we continue to run in circles chasing our own tails, tripping over the pieces we have left in our wake.

Have you noticed that you may have an idea of what you think would be best for you and it doesn't always turn out that way? Yes, you will go through trials and tribulation, you may even walk many, many miles until you come upon a clearing, but God has always led you. He is asking for you to trust in him and with doing so you have sprouted a vine, because he is the source of life, he will continue to multiply your branches and allow you to grow into someone you may not have believed possible.

We are malleable, fragile, his clay to form for his will. Open your heart and fall to your knees, request guidance and let down the tattered walls of your heart. He is waiting for you to step back and ask him to take the reins, to show you his love and mesmerize you with a future you are not capable of dreaming up. God says, "You provide the obedience, and I'll provide the power. You obey, and I'll show the way." Exodus 3:11

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
