Trusting God With The Results Of The Presidential Election
Norwich Assembly of God

Waking up today was extremely rough for me as I'm sure it was for many other people. I'll be honest and say that I wasn't a fan of either presidential candidate and they both made me nervous for our country. The one thing that got me through all of the presidential debates and stories in the media about both candidates was prayer and my faith in God. I knew that no matter who won the election, I would wake up today feeling nauseous. As a young woman, I obviously wasn't thrilled to see Donald Trump win the election. I find him disrespectful and want to make it clear that I found his comments about women appalling and disturbing.I also think that he should have had some kind of public consequences for his remarks about women and I do think that he should have made a public apology of some sort. But even if that never happens and I really don't think it will, I trust God because when everything is crumbling around you, He doesn't.

Before the results of the election came out, I set it in my heart that I would trust that God had a plan for our country and pray for whichever candidate won the election even though, I personally didn't agree with either one of them. I understand that many people might not agree with what I'm saying, and that's okay. I'm not asking everyone to agree with me or even say that I am right. But what I am saying, is that from my position as a young woman in America, the only thing I can do in the aftermath of this election is pray. I am going to pray with all my heart that God is sovereign over our government and president. Even if I don't like Donald Trump, I'm still going to pray that God is bigger than him and the decisions he makes. I just want to encourage everyone who is scared and confused about the results of this election by saying that it's not out of God's hands.Things certainly seem scary right now, but I truly believe that prayer can move mountains so I'm going to pray for our president and our country with all of my heart because to me, that is the best thing that I can do right now. So if you get anything from this article I hope that it's this, have to hope and pray for our president and country because prayer and faith is what changes things and right now, it's what we need.

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

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?
