Dear Friend,
Starting a new school year can be very exciting and a little scary too. Buying school supplies, shopping for new clothes and meeting old friends can be fun but what about these?
*Frustration- Because you received you supply list so late you can’t find what you need at any store and all the cool stuff is gone.
*You have already figured out your out-fit for the first day of school and you know exactly where to get it and mom says: I don’t think so! (you know the reasons: too expensive; that is not for school; you don’t need it; etc.)
* Old friends? That’s cool! But what about the new people that you’ve never seen before, and the snobbish girl in the classroom, or the one who knows it all? (well, at least she thinks she does).Not only that but two of your best friends are in different houses or teams. Talk about anxiety?
* The worst one: You loved your teachers last year. This year is a whole different story. The Math teacher has a reputation of being the most difficult ever! The Social Studies teacher gives tests twice a week and the science teacher looks very strange..
* Don’t even mention that you are starting a new school and you don’t know anyone! Your excitement begins to fade and you are left with butterflies in your stomach.!
Relax! You have no reason to worry. Remember how much your Heavenly Father loves you and that He knows it all. Every single day of your life, every supply in your list, every desire in your heart, every concern in your mind. It does not take a big brainier to know how to solve this matter: Give it all back to Jesus. Make all your requests known to Him. He is listening to you girl!! Share it all and know that the results are going to be A+.
The Lord says in His word: “For I know the plans I have for you.” Says the Lord “Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Than you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart”.
(Jeremiah 29:11)
The best way to start a new year is to give your life to Jesus. If you have already done that, continue to walk with Him. If you haven’t, you can do it in a simple prayer: Dear Jesus, please forgive me from my sins and cleanse my heart. Come into my life and be my Savior. Give me your peace and love and be my Helper. Amen!
Once you do that your name is written in the most wonderful book of all: The Book of Life and there is no better place to be!
God bless you!
