Stress, who needs it?

It's just been one of those weeks. Classes just began and I get stressed out at the beginning of EVERY semester and I say that my schedule is the worst yet.. but this time, I really believe it. I'm trying to work my butt off so I can graduate in May. College has been an awesome ride but I'm ready for a new scene.

During the first week of school is when I'm hit with all this doubt, "Anna you can't handle this."(to add to this, I'm out of minutes on my phone so I can't call my daddy.) So frustrating. I had a friend tell me the other day that he has a problem saying no. I think it's contagious. Now don't get me wrong.. everything I am committed to for the Fall I absolutely love and want to do, I just hope that I can adjust to my busy schedule. :)

Wanna hear what I'm doing? I thought you'd never ask!!! Classes/work on campus 7:45-4:45 everyday and somedays until 6. Nanny 1-2 overnights a week, babysitting, Auburn Athletics (volleyball and women's bball), church internship, leading a small group (YAY). Classes = Parasitology, Microbiology, Abnormal Psychology and Anatomy and Physiology 1. (3 hr labs separate from all the classes except no lab in Abnormal Psych.) Friday night football to watch the niece cheer, I'm sooo proud of her. and drumroll please... AUBURN FOOTBALL!!! WAR EAGLE!

I hate stress, but who doesn't? I try and live a stress free life (for the most part). I'm one of those people that try not to worry about things when problems come my way. I think getting your panties in a wad is a waste of emotion. (I'm not saying I NEVER get that way, and when I do, I do my best to get over it fast) I have greater purpose to live for. God created me for His glory. I try to find something good in all situations. Well, this brings me back to my week. I'm really excited about Fall because in this week alone I have turned to my Bible much more for encouragement. That's what stressful situations are about, seeking God. "God cares more about your character than your comfort in times of trouble." This semester God and I are going to be so tight and that gives me the comfort knowing I don't have to face tomorrow alone.

p.s. this is my first EVER blog entry. I'm excited.
