High school, the way I see it it can either be the some of the best years of your teenage years or the worst. I remember watching high school musical as a young child dreaming of how wonderful high school would be. I thought I would meet a "Troy" and the everyday would be a fairy tale with me as the main character. That was not what happened AT ALL. Last year, as a freshman I was faced with the most difficult things I had ever experienced so far in all my sixteen years of life. I spent months gripped with anxiety. I hated my school, had zero friends, and my relationship with the Lord got really hard and really real. My anxiety caused me to stop enjoying anything. I didn't eat, I didn't laugh, I saw almost no value in life. My parents grew angry with me because they didn't understand that I could not control it. I finished the school and was destined to head to an new one called "Faith Bible" in the fall. When that time rolled around and the first day of school came I fell absolutely in love with the school and the people. My relationship with the Lord has gotten so much stronger and I feel him with me everyday.
I want people to understand that he was the ONLY one who got me out of the pit I was in. My OCD/anxiety is still with me and will be for the rest of my life, but the Lord has taught me to rely on Him and I learned that it can even be a blessing.
My adventure in High school is still being written and I am excited to see what else God is going to do in my life.
1 Peter 5:7
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
