Overwhelmed

Who do you turn to when you feel overwhelmed?

Overwhelmed
Ian Aberle

Some schools only have a few weeks left until finals, this is the time when the projects and papers are due. We have pushed them off and now it is time to get them done. But now that you have waited to work on so many projects, it is a little more overwhelming than you imagined it would be. Add to that the stress of finals coming soon and anything else that might be happening in your life. Maybe you try to ease the stress with some ice cream or by procrastination. Either way, you probably only get temporary relief and then you feel the same chest crushing weight as before. What could you possible do to help ease this burden? I would suggest to you that their is someone that cares for you immensely and would love to be there with you to help you in your struggles. That someone is God. 1 Peter 5:7 says "cast all your anxiety on him, because he caress for you." God cares about you and everything you are dealing with right now. Here are some bible verses that show you who you can turn to when you are feeling overwhelmed.

Isaiah 61:2 "When my heart is overwhelmed lead me to the rock that is higher than I."

Psalm 18:30 "As for God, His way is perfect: the Lord's word is flawless; He shields all who take refuge in him."

Psalm 46:10 "Be still, and know that I am God."

Exodus 11:11 "The Lord will fight for you, you need only to be still"

Matthew 28:20 "I am with you always."

Galatians 1:15 "Before I was born, God chose me and called me by His marvelous grace."

Psalm 91:4 "He will cover you with His feathers and under His wings you will find refuge."

Remember that He will always be there for you!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
