So recently I have been worrying alot about EVERYTHING in my life. I think the root of this worrying is because this is my last year in grad school and I have to start the whole job search thing. I just get so nervous! Like I keep comparing my skills to others that are in my program and I feel as though I am not the best candidate. I have a lot to improve on w/my position and I just wish I can stop looking to the negative things and start seeing how I am good at my job and start improving on things (like the administration stuff). I am so blessed that I need to stop worrying and start putting it in my Father's hands.
I have started reading (only read chapter 1 so far but it is good) The power of a praying woman by Elizabeth George. I know for a fact once I improve my 1-1 time with the Lord and truly start getting serious with my prayer life then my whole life will start getting better and I will no doubt stop worrying. This morning the Lord gave me this verse that I need to truly memorize when I start worrying about my future:
Jeremiah 29:11-13
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
I know for a fact that my Father will not let me fail as long as I am giving Him my WHOLE heart. So today is a new day and I starting my day right with putting my Father first and not worrying what will come.
Don't fret Brina... I too was initially guilty of comparing myself to others in my program... But that will only bring you down... :( Focus on your strengths (you have a LOT of those) I've found that oddly enough doing so makes you feel better about yourself and as a result minimizes your weaknesses! Love ya! :)
ReplyDeleteI know exactly how you feel! Sometimes it's hard not to compare yourself to others, especially when you work so closely with them. Remember that you are in grad school for a reason and you DESERVE to be there! I know you will finish the school year strong and I wish you nothing but success girlie! Keep your head up :)
