Trusting in Him

What a day, what a day! Today was the very first day of the new semester at school. This means that there is mass confusion and lots of tension everywhere! I'm really happy that it only takes about 1-3 days to get back into the way of life at my highschool. If it took much longer than that I think I would go even crasier! :) Anyways sense today was the start of a new semester that means that sometimes you'll have new classes. The new class I have is Intro to Business. I also have different teachers for Physics & Phy. Ed.. In Phy. Ed. The teacher that I now have was starting the swimming unit...I was NOT excitied. Swimming is something I'm not really good at and don't do much so this was not a unit that I was looking forward to...AT ALL! I was brave and made it through the class but am so not looking forward to it tomorrow! Swimming first thing in the morning was not a very good start to my day so I'm thinking that maybe I'll need to have my devotion time in the moring so I start the day off on the right track. After Phy. Ed. I had Physics and my day didn't get much better from there on. Though my mom was willing to pick me up from school so that was a plus:), normally I ride the bus. Once I got back home my day was better because I was with the people I love. :) 
     Over all today was a tough day and what I'm realising now is that I didn't put my trust in God. All the worry I had about the day, I kept it inside or told people who probably didn't even care. If I would have asked God to help me with all the worries I had about the day I would have been much more relaxed. In Jeremiah 17:7-8 it says, " Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit." I feel that this verse is really talking about when we put our confidence in the living water, God's words, we will be able to stand tall even through the ups and downs of life. We won't worry when bad situations come our way because we are replenished by what God has spoken. And when others around us see that we are calm they will ask about the peace that we have.
      I'm putting my TRUST in the LORD to help me make it through the upcoming months of school because without Him I would be SO lost. I know that I surely wouldn't be the person I am today. If I want to continue to build a strong relationship with Christ I need to trust in Him because He is the only one who will never leave our side and I am so grateful for that! ~TRUSTING IN HIM~
