It's been a while..

followers-

It's been a while since i've been on here, i apologize.. Life has been extremely busy the past few days, but tomorrow after a test at 3 I can breathe a sigh of relief!

This past weekend was insane. Friday night Kristen and I went to the Signal Mountain Opry, which was really cool.. Then saturday morning we went for a hike and went to lunch with my parents.. Saturday afternoon Corey, Phillip, and I left for Atlanta to see Muse in concert.

The Muse concert was beyond my wildest imaginations! We had floor tickets and it was completely insane. People were going nuts and we had a great time! (I'll try to post a picture, but i'm not sure how to do that yet..)

So this whole weekend while i was home, my mind was not there. I was so stressed/worried/anxious about stuff happening in Jackson, primarily tests, that I could not even focus on life for those few days. When i got back to school Sunday, I had to study for a test Monday morning, then I knew I had a test Wednesday as well- so it was all just really stressing me out!

So I stop studying Sunday and start reading my Bible.. I come across some awesome stuff in Philippians that really spoke to me..

In Phil. 4:11-13, Paul talks about being content with his situation, regardless of the circumstances. I guess God was really speaking to me and just saying "look dwil- you'll be okay." He knew i was completely stressed about all these tests and stuff, but He also knew what i needed to hear from Him at that very moment. Then, Phil 4:13, a verse we all know well- "I can do everything through him who gives me strength." God was basically covering my thoughts and letting me know that everything would be okay. It was so amazing to see Him move in my stressful times..

Then this morning i was reading in Luke 12 and Jesus is talking about how we don't need to worry about stuff.. It has been so neat to see God calm my fears and emotions over the past few days. Psalm 144:3 says "O Lord, what is man that you care for him, the son of man that you think of him." God really does care for us. He knows our thoughts, he knows our minds, and he knows our hearts. The past six days He has definitely been comforting my heart through the midst of the stress of tests and I am so grateful!

Until next time, stay classy Bellamy
