"1 I look up to the mountains— does my help come from there? 2 My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth! 3 He will not let you stumble; the one who watches over you will not slumber. 4 Indeed, he who watches over Israel never slumbers or sleeps. 5 The Lord himself watches over you! The Lord stands beside you as your protective shade. 6 The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon at night. 7 The Lord keeps you from all harm and watches over your life.8 The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever."- Psalm 121

"You are light, you are light when the darkness closes in.You are hope, you are hope you have covered all my sin.You are peace, you are peace when my fear is crippling." -Forever Reign

I was so tempted to put the entire song up. Psalm 121 and Forever Reign have become my comfort verse and song. When I am afraid all I have to do is grab my bible and take refuge in God's words. I read Psalm 121 over and over again until I feel the peace that is always available when I turn to God for safety. I remember last year I could not sleep in my room alone. There was always this fear of sleeping alone, like the monsters would come out from the closet and from under my bed and attack me. I know what silly ideas for a sixteen year old to have. What I really mean is that I was always scared before going to sleep. I always felt this threatening presence in my room. So I would go to the living room and sleep with my siblings. One night for some reason I slept early and woke up around 12 to use the bathroom. As I was washing my hands I had this frightening thought pop up in my head the devil is going to get you. I was beyond terrified, I didn't know what to do just sit trembling like the song says I was crippled in fear. I grabbed my laptop and prayed that I would find one of my brothers or sisters in Christ online so that I could talk to someone. I praise God that Tiff was online. She gave me verses to read, she prayed for me, and she gave me forever reign to play over and over again until I felt like I could go back to sleep. It was the first time I heard the song and when the words came up "you are peace you are peace when my fear is crippling I just started crying." The words are so true, when I become petrified all I have to do is call out to God and immerse myself in his word and he gives me peace.

My senior year is coming up. I have been dreading it since I first stepped on to the GW campus. It's like yesterday I was just a freshmen and now in a couple of months I will be speed walking around my lovely campus as a senior. This school year will have so many opportunities to try something new. Am I a bit anxious? YOU BET! A little nervous? Most definitely! Although no matter what happens I will go to God for everything and will pray that he will have his amazing way in my life. I know that he has the best in store for me. I will trust in his plans completely, after all who better to trust than the author of life? I will hold his hand tightly and know that he will take me to higher places. He will always protect me wherever I go.
"11 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." -Jeremiah 29:11
