I'm a Junior....Where Has the Time Gone?

It's Junior year, a new year. Eleventh grade, but seriously, where has the time gone? I have two years of my highschool career left and before I know it, I'll be graduating! But, for right now I want to slow down life and not think about that, just live for the moment that I'm in. I've been scared of Junior year since my Freshman year, everyone just talked about how hard, stressful, and tiresome eleventh grade was. Now that it is here, I don't even know how I feel about it. All summer I just tried to keep the thoughts of the upcoming school year out of my head, I wouldn't even talk to people about it. But, as I talked to God about it, I realized that even thought this will be a challenging, stressful year, I'm going to make it the best year. I want to make awesome memories, and achieve goals. I have many different goals that I want to accomplish this year, training harder, eating better, growing more spiritually, make straight A's, and many more. All of these goals are going to be quite difficult, but with God, awesome friends and family, I know I can do it. Thinking about this upcoming year makes me tired, but I'm so excited about it too! I am taking some difficult classes this year, that really scare me, and with one of my goals being that I make straight A's, it just blows my mind. Part of me, the negative side, wants to believe that this is an impossible goal to achieve. But, I need to focus on what God tells me and I know that the scripture I will turn to this year will be Philippians 4:13- "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength" I'm nervous, but this will be an awesome year!
