School

I have not posted for quite a long while. You see, I eventually completed the summer projects I recieved from my school (two days before school started actually), and then I started school. Between everything happening, I sorta forgot almost entirely about blogger.

You know, I like my "new" school. I like my classes, I like my teachers, I like who is in my classes, I like who is in my lunch periods...basically the only thing I tend to dislike is the homework that is automatically attached to school. God orchestrated it so perfectly. He knew who to put as my teachers, He knew what electives I should get, and I am so glad that is true. I was sure that I was going to be happy with school because God's in charge. I also knew that if there was some thing about school that I didn't like, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose." (Romans 8:28). I know God has everything planned out for me and He knows what is going to happen. I am willing to be content with that. I am content with that. I don't have to know what's going to happen.

One problem that I've encountered at school is Science Olympiad. I was on the varsity team in my school last year, and the team did really well: we actually made it to Nationals. The middle school is allowed to bring back five ninth graders to participate on their team again. One of the problems is that our coach left the school because he wanted to go to college some more while still teaching, and he found a great job at another school. He was one of the main reasons alot of us were participating in Science Olympiad at all. Now the people in charge don't necessarily really know what their doing: they haven't done it before. There is no one to really decide who is going to be on the team this year. I want to be one of those who goes back, but one of my best friends isn't sure and is really stressed about it. Another of the want-to-go-back people is trying to pressure a certain five people to go back. It is just a huge, confusing, mess. We need a miracle. We need God's help.

I've been praying about this situation, and when I see the group of five again, I will propose praying together. This will be tough for me I think. I tend to become really nervous when praying outloud while others are listening. It also doesn't help that I've never prayed with this group before. I need God's help. I need courage. I want everything in Science Olympiad to work out. I don't want a horribly catastrophic event to happen. But only God can prevent one from happening. I need His help. I need His guidence.

If you are reading this, will you please pray about this Science Olympiad thing? I am becoming stressed with it even whe in shouldn't. God will work it out. I know He will. God is good all the time, and all the time God is good.
