Have you ever had that "A-HA" moment where you suddenly feel like everything is clicking, coming together and you finally see that there is, in fact a light at the end of the tunnel?
For one of my final exams, I am working on an essay in which I am writing about my "A-HA" moment in my Energy Management class. Our assignment is to write about the moment when everything clicked in this class and we knew that this the major that we want to be in and this is the career we want to pursue. While working on this essay, I began to think about many of my "A-HA" moments in life.
Looking back on the two and a half years that I have completed in college (well- almost), I have had many of these moments. But the biggest one yet came to me last night. As I was studying in the Bizzell Library at the University of Oklahoma, I was battling a large wave of stress.
SIDE NOTE: Finals stress is the worst-- You are so close to the end it's not even funny. I particularly think that it is worse the Fall semester. I mean hello, you have CHRISTMAS to look forward to!!
As I was fighting back tears because of the overwhelming things going through my head, I decided to overcome this stress and think in a positive light. I started thinking and all of the sudden... I had a moment. I wish I could constantly feel the way I did when that light went off in my head. I had the feeling of joy, peace, redemption and perseverance all at the same time.
Isn't the Lord great? He knows exactly when to bring us these moments. He knows when we need strength and peace of mind. He knows all.
Don't let stress overcome you. Cast your fear on the Lord. One passage that I have learned to love while being is college is this:
"Cast all your fears on Him because He cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7.
