Revenge is a funny topic, it's funny because we somehow think we have the right to act on it or even merely ponder it... Revenge is inflicting pain or harm on someone who has previously done the same to you or another person. Oddly enough we as humans think we have the right to do this. We think we have the right to hurt someone simply because they have hurt us. How messed up is this idea? We seem to think because someone else caused us hurt, that we should then cause them hurt in return? What is this teaching those around us? Well it's definitely not teaching God's love. We are called to be a light in this world, to build each other up, no matter if they have harmed us or caused us pain, we need to be the ones willing to help someone free of judgement. We need to see our pain as a chance to learn and grow, a chance to know how something feels and be able to help someone else through a situation down the road. We need to be able to see past our pain in the moment and see God's plan for that pain in the future. Faith is believing not that God can, but that God will, its believing that the unseen promises and plans for our life will prevail. Along with faith comes a journey, a special journey for each and every one of us in which none are the same or maybe not even remotely alike. All of our journeys however have a purpose to spread God's word and love. So when the world speaks of revenge toward the harsh actions implemented on us, let us not take the path of the world, but the path of Lord. Let's choose healing and wisdom instead of torment and irrational decisions.

Stress is constantly coming in seemingly endless forms. The specific aspect of stress that I want to focus on today is the fact that when were stressed, we typically take that stress out on ourselves. This is pertaining to how we treat our bodies, both physically and mentally when were stressed. I have experienced this a lot lately. Junior year has been crazy as I'm sure most of you know either from past experience or current. There's stress on getting grades that colleges will accept, ACT/SAT, getting volunteer hours, internships, upholding a job, playing sports or being active in school clubs, and so much more on top of trying to stay sane... In my most recent experience, I have come to the conclusion that when I'm stressed there are times that I'm not good to my body. ...
