Megan's prayer: Kutless' "Perspectives"

Why can't you see that freedom is sometimes simply another perspective away?

I've been told that misery loves company. This semester has been a perfect example of this. School has been overwhelmingly stressful and full of projects. When you are surrounded by 30 other girls going through the exact same thing, it becomes very easy to have a pity party.

And we partied hard this semester. Before classes, after classes, at lunch, sometimes even during class. Even a few teachers would join in. It has just been a stressful semester.

Why can't you see that freedom is sometimes simply another perspective away?

While the number of assignments due has not decreased, a new perspective has been helping me deal with the stress a bit better. Instead of being held back by the stress and only focusing on that, I've freed myself from it. I know that my work will get done, I just need to stay focused and have a positive attitude. The pity parties got me no where. I've finally realized that in order to make this a successful semester, I have to take a new perspective. I have to trust in myself, and trust in the fact that everything will get done, and that everything will turn out okay in the end.
