Try your best and let God handle the rest.
In my absence from my blog, life got really hectic. I found myself back in school, working, mentoring, being a part of, and leading extracurricular activities. This became too much for me, and I had to let some things go to make time for those vital things. Unfortunately, my blog post was some of the first things to go. I did not know how to balance all the blocks that life had given me. I felt like I was drowning in the deep dark sea of life. This came after I had made myself a promise. I promised myself that I would keep my stress level to a minimum. I would meditate, blog, and not sweat the small stuff. However, this is not what happened. Instead, life got away from me.
My life seemed to be spiraling out of control; I was lost with no sense of direction or organization. It never happened, no matter how hard I tried to balance life and still have time for relaxation. My life had taken control of my life. I no longer had a say so in what I would do and when I would do it. I had to just sit back and let life happen. Those who know me know that this is easier said than done. I am used to being in control. However, at this time in my life, it was impossible for me to control everything. I learned to let life and, more importantly, God have their way.
It was not helpful for me to try to control every aspect of life. I started to try my best and let God handle the rest; this became my motto. If I tried my best and knew that I had completed everything I set out to complete, that was a victory. I stopped trying to micromanage every part of my life and started to go with the flow. I learned that stress would instantly disappear if I allowed this to happen. Every day it is a struggle to not be in control. However, I trust in God and know he will guide me in the right direction.
Until next time,
Let God’s light shine within and through you!
