This past week, I have been sleeping at anywhere between 2AM to 4AM working on yearbook. We had a 40 page deadline yesterday and we only have two designers (including myself). I have tests, assignments and quizzes thrown at me. I leave school around 6:00PM to 7:30PM. And on days that I don't, I have night school until 9:30PM and typically get home at 10:00PM, exhausted from school and lack of sleep. I have my DECA competition in less than two weeks and I haven't even prepared yet.
In other words; I'm swamped, tired, and unable to maintain that level of relationship I have with Christ.
"But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us." [2 Corinthians 1:9-10]
No matter what happens with this crazy workload, lack of sleep and rocky university situation, I have to remember to rely on God. This week, I haven't. I've been too drained. You used to have to fight me for me not to do devotions; now I just hope I could do it sometime later that day, but end up passing out on the bed before my head even hits the pillow!
My God is the Lord who can raise the dead and here I am, thinking he can't even save me from my petty work? Pft. Let's trust in the Lord, that even when the journey gets tough, we can remember to fully rely on God.
"We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about the hardships we suffered." [2 Corinthians 1:8]
My brothers and sisters are here to share and be united in our sufferings and our joys, but I've only been pushing people away. God, I pray that you will break down that wall that I built around my heart and allow me to be used to glorify you today, and forever more.

The storms of life remind us to take shelter in the loving arms of our Savior.
