Numbers Should Not Stress You Out, But Yet It Does

Being perfect and blameless in the Lord's sight is so encouraging.

Numbers Should Not Stress You Out, But Yet It Does
Drodd

Something that has been on my mind a lot lately is numbers. You may be thinking, well, why are you thinking about numbers? I am glad you asked! I have been thinking about my grades from this semester, my grade point average, how much money it will cost for me to attend college next year, and how much money I actually have in my bank account. This is just a stressful part of my life and everyone has to deal with it sometimes.

Yes, it is important to have good grades in your classes while being in college, but some people can barely make it through with the minimum grade that they can have. That is ok, but most people would rather have the A's and B's all of the time. I wish I could have really good grades, but I do not, which is okay, because I know God has a plan for my life, even when I cannot see it. I know too many people who stress over their grades more than I do. Most standardize tests do no good to you, other than frustration and aggravation.As Christians, when you have God on your side, there is no need to worry about what is going to happen with your grades. God will lead you to wherever and whatever you should be doing.

The majority of the population worries about how much money that they have and when their bank account start becoming low, they start freaking out. I would freak out if I did not have a lot in my bank account as well, because that just means you do not have a lot of money. I have been in that situation before! Most college students worry about how they will pay or afford college. That is the beauty of loans. When you get the money to start paying off the loans, you will actually have a stable job hopefully and you will be glad that you got the loan to attend college.

Most numbers of anything makes us stress out and worry about certain things. The good news is that if you are a Christian, numbers do not matter! It does not matter what grades you have, even when it does matter sometimes, how much money you have; you are priceless in the Lord's eyes. When God made you, He made you perfect and blameless in His sight! God made you for a reason, to be here on earth and spread the Gospel to others around the world. The things that we worry about in life right now will be our least thing we even think about either years later or when we enter heaven.

Are you stressing out too much with school or with numbers? If you are, just remember that God has a great plan for you in the coming days! Whatever happens, let God get all of the glory and not glory for yourself. It is hard to rely on Him for guidance, especially when you do not see the future or the next day ahead. You have to trust in God and seek Him every day, so you will know where the Lord is leading you to.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
