I CAN do this!!!!

~Before I start, I just wanted to let you know that I should be tackling some of my tons of homework right now , but I felt it more important to document this! Hope you enjoy!

College so far has been so overwhelming! There have been days that I just want to throw in to towel and give up forever. And I am not exaggerating on this one, there have been days that I have to talk myself out of crying while walking to my next class.

One of these days happens to be last Monday. Mondays are really long for me. I have class from 8 o’clock till 3 o’clock, and one of my classes is my Chem Lab where I stand for three hours doing experiments. Anyway, I had a bad day in my Biology class, mostly because I felt that I didn’t understand what the professor was saying. It’s almost like her brain moves faster than her mouth.  I was really discouraged, but trying to be positive by reciting Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.” And I’m sure that I heard a great song on Joy FM during my drive home, I can’t remember at the moment though. I just know I was really down about the class and about college in general and thinking that maybe I had made the wrong choice.

After coming home and working on some homework, and cooking dinner, I decided to push my homework off and go to church for Intercessory Prayer. As we were praying, I don’t remember exactly what was said, but I think it was some thing about our ears being shut to the devil’s lies. That really spoke to my spirit. Suddenly it all made sense. I was letting the devil whisper to me that I wasn’t good enough for this, and that I couldn’t do this, and that I should just give up. Right then and there I decided that enough was enough and that the devil was no longer allowed to tell me these things! I have surrounded myself with Christian music, I started my Bible reading again (I had slacked off during the summer), and I focus on the positive!

I can’t, I’m not good enough, and I should give up are a thing of the past!

With Christ, I CAN, I AM good enough, and I WON’T give up!
