Today was the last day of a very hard school year. When everyone told me Junior year was the hardest, I just kind of brushed it off. They were SO right. It took a lot of energy, time, and passion to learn all that was required of us. But sometimes, I didn't really feel like giving my all. I became weary and bored of the same routine. Not only was this year mentally demanding, it was also physically, spiritually, and emotionally demanding.
Because of my health issues, I missed a ton of school. Missing a day of Junior year is like missing a week. The amount of make up work that I was required to complete was extremely overwhelming. I was almost 100% sure that I could not possibly make it through the year. On top of my health issues, one of my good friends was put into foster care and left our school, and of course all the drama that comes with having friends that are girls.
Throughout this whole year in the back of my mind, I kept on telling myself "this is impossible" and because of that I lost my motivation. I was fairly sure that it was, in fact, impossible. I neglected to realize that I could leave my burden with Christ. I failed to let Him control me. I failed to let my love for Christ ignite a passion that affected everything I did.
But, I am still here. I am still alive. I passed. This school year has been such a trial full of joys and sorrows. All those things that I thought were impossibilities, became possible.
Philippians 4:13-"I can do all things through Him who gives me strength."
