Finals Week One

It's no doubt that finals and midterms have always managed to end up as one of the toughest parts of the school year. There was a time in my school career where I too was faced with a major academic obstacle. It was time for the biggest final of the year and our teacher had previously announced that our test was going to be an open book one. I felt an extreme sense of relief however, at the last minute our teacher had managed to change their mind and as of that moment text books would no longer be allowed. As one can imagine, the class began to erupt in complaints. You see, the class had no faith in what they had previously reviewed and without the compfort of their text books to guide them, they were no longer confident and afraid. As Christians we also tend to run into these types of obstacles in a different format. We are aliens to our world, following a different path and willing to make a difference to all who are available to lend and ear. However, I have been witness to many of my friends falling to the waste side when they are put in tough positions and finally faced with a test that the world won't allow our common resources for. Though theses types of problems may rise up, there is one person I know who can always be looked to even when the world tries to close the book on you. That person is Jesus Christ and if your willing to dedicate your life to him there is no obstacle to large to hold us down!
