too blessed to be stressed?

ha, i found a button that yearb says was his (but he so generously gives to me now!) that says, 'too blessed to be stressed.' now i'm pretty firm in that most or all stress is unmerited, thus sinful, so i wonder. why would God allow for finals? well, i don't think that's far from my belief stated above. stress 'caused' by finals is either a result of lack of preparedness or lack of faith in the abilities handed me by God. hmm. so, where's the line between faith and preparation for such? there isn't one, so don't comment telling me you've figured it out. :) i have little point in saying these things than to let you in on a little secret from a tenured scholastic failure: have fun in college, and forget about your gpa. it won't matter in eternity!....j/k, it does matter. i once heard a guy say that i'm not to be a college student who happens to be a Christian, but rather a Christain who happens to be a college student, but he went on to show me that God put me there for his glorification ( i kinda missed that part though), therefore, i need to get on it with my scholastics. it took 4 1/2 years to get what he said to me. this, i have found, is all encompassing of life! God allows you to be where you are only because he wants to be praised in it. ask yourself, 'am what i am doing glorifying God?' if the answer is 'no,' then don't be stressed. find yourself asking God to schedule your time, then you'll see that you'll be too bless to be stressed! he's given you the ability!
