Deep Breath

There are a lot of  things out there that stress us out these days. We have friends we are trying to impress, teachers we don't want to hate us, coaches and teams we don't want to let down, and about a billion other things that are breathing down our backs every day. It is extremely difficult to find a  moment just to breathe and sometimes just a moment when we can be ourselves. What if for one day we didn't care about what the rest of the world thought, and we just allowed ourselves to be, well, us.

We are such incredible beings, and we are loved with an incomparable love that nothing should worry us. If we think about it, when was the last time God didn't take care of everything? We get all worked up, and in the end, is it really worth it? We give ourselves to fear when God has already said, "Do Not Fear, Only Believe"(Mark 5:36). Believing in Him and trusting in Him is our greatest strength. Nothing is impossible for God, so why do we think we can't get everything done. I think it's time to step back and look at the world a little differently. Take a moment to look at the beautiful blue sky and think about how great it is to be alive. Smile at the people we meet and give each other a reason to smile, by doing this small act you can do a world of help to another person. Take a deep breath, and remember you can do this. It's hard sometimes and often we feel like we can't, but we are so blessed, we can do anything we put our minds to, we just have to give God just a little and he's going to do it all for us anyways. God is good all the time, so give yourself time to breathe. And always be you. We need more people to stop pretending to be someone else and start being themselves. You are wonderful, and don't ever forget it! YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!
