When you have too much to do
Sophomore year of high school, I felt like I was drowning. I didn’t have enough time to get everything done. And I felt so overwhelmed that I almost didn’t know where to start. Somehow, I got through that year, but I knew something needed to change before junior year.
That summer, I had the opportunity to travel to Ecuador for a service trip with a group of young Christian Scientists. While I was there, I prayed a lot with the third verse from the twenty-third Psalm, which says that God, as my Shepherd, “leads me in the paths of righteousness / For His name’s sake” (New King James Version). That passage helped me remember that I wasn’t alone doing this work—God was leading me, and I could rely on Him and lean on Him when I was struggling or felt overwhelmed.
