The New Me

Well today was my first day as a sophomore in high school! Time sure has flown by so fast! It feels like just yesterday i was kissing my mom on the cheek while sending me off to kindergarten! If i had to look back to myself to the start of 8th grade, i sure would never expect myself to be where i am right now! Ive grown so much with relationships, my faith with God, and finding who the real me is! Everybody has been telling me that high school is a huge part of my life ( not just with the eduation but discovering the true things that mean in life)! As a freshman last year, i sure didnt find any answers that i wanted! I dug myself in a huge hole and it basically took me the whole school year to get out! I kept getting deeper and deeper into the hole and felt like i was just suffocating with everything going on around me. I finally got the courage to crawl out of the hole and ask for help. Thats when i realized that God didnt give me this wonderful life so i could do all things by myself; he gave it to me so i could learn from my mistakes, for others to help me get through my struggles, get closer with him, and know that i need help from others especially him to be successful with my life! The middle school me would have not been able to get through that big thunder storm, but the high school me can definietly get through any thing with Christ right by my side! Philippians 4:13 ” I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”!! Thats one of my favorite verses because it explains that if i keep The Lord in my life, i can get through any thing he throws in my way. If i doubt him or stop believing in his true words, then my life is gonna suck and be like a huge snowball by having things be piled up trying to run over me! This school year i want it to be different!! Im a whole new person compared to freshman me! Im gonna be trying to look at things in a different way and in a more positive way! I also am gonna try to not let things get out of hand and for sure not let myself go back in that deep dark hole. As the year goes go, i understand that God is going to put challenging opticals in my life but as Romans 8:28 says, ” We know that in all things God works for good for those who love him. Those whom he has called according to his purpose!!”
