I can do this. Right?

I'll admit, I miss home. 

I miss the freedom of being able to go to my grandparents' house. 

I miss grabbing my keys and driving around. 

I miss hanging out with my friends.

I miss sleeping in my bed. 

I miss dance parties while cleaning my house.

I miss my Ninna.

I miss my tree. 

I miss. . . everything. 

*********************************

My heart is pretty heavy. There is so much that needs to get done in the next 26 days, and I just simply feel overwhelmed with all of it. 

I don't know how I'm supposed to pull my grades up. I don't know how I'm supposed to rest. I can sleep, but I haven't rested in a week. My back is beginning to hurt, my chest is heavy, my head is pounding, and my eyes are strained. 

I keep attempting to pray, to ask for strength. I feel like that's all I'm saying anymore.

"Lord, give me strength to get through..." 

Its all I keep asking. I thank God for this school and this opportunity, but sometimes I feel like I'm not cut out for this. 

I think everyone gets to this place in a semester, but I've been pushing my stress away, suppressing it. 

But here it is. Front and center. 

**********************************

I can do this. 

Right? 

**************************

My heart is just so heavy. I am feeling the weight of everything. 

God will help me through this. 

I know He will. 

But that doesn't mean I'm not struggling.

************

Please pray for the students at my school. Everyone is stressed with grades, classes, sleep deprivation, and just life.

I'm just so thankful for my little life. I really am. I'm thankful that I have something to stretch me this far. I'm thankful for a Savior that has saved me from myself so many times. I'm thankful that my heart is soaring with joy while I'm deeply stressing out.
