Age: 20
How am I feeling right now? I think I'm good. Things are going well: I am doing well in my four classes, I have a great internship where I'm learning a lot in my desired field, and I am in great health. But, but, but...I feel like something is missing. However I don't need to talk to any friend because I know the answer. I need a closer relationship...with God. I went to church last Sunday at First Corinthians in Harlem. I love that church and the Pastor. He delivered a beautiful sermon that any and every black college student would find helpful. Stop Stressin' was the subject. He discussed how we as humans always tend to worry about things that we have no power to control. Studies have shown that 80 percent of what we as humans worry about doesn't even come into reality. So that is nothing but wasted energy.
He then discussed how God promises us all of those things that we need if we place our concern on his kingdom. Basically all this expounds on is the importance of faith in life. If I think everything is going to wrong...more than likely it will. Another example of a distraction placed on our hearts is this spirit of loneliness. When the Pastor stated this, I felt as though he was putting me on blast in front of the congregation. I can't lie for the last three years I have been "girl-crazy." I couldn't imagine the actually amount of time that I have wasted speculating on if I could talk to or date a certain girl. I have honestly not been acting like a 20 year old but rather a 39 year old virgin who is afraid he will never "find" anyway. However this anxiousness has caused me to learn a lot of hard but important lessons of life. I have no need to resolve to desperation. So the moral of the story is this kids: If I seek the Kingdom of God, the Lord will provide me with all my desires--that law degree, that MBA, that job, that career, and that woman that I need.
