God does give us more than we can handle!

As I was lying in my bed tonight, trying to fall asleep but stressing out about all of the things I have to do tomorrow and knowing that the longer it takes me to fall asleep, the less time I'll actually have to be asleep, I couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.  When I planned out my schedule for this semester, I knew it would be challenging, I mean, I'm almost 3/4 of the way done with college.  It's pretty much a given that classes will get harder.  But the amount of homework that I've had this semester has far exceeded any of my other semesters.  The thought came to me that God does give us more than we can handle.  ON OUR OWN.  He gives us hard things to go through, sometimes to turn us back to him.  With God, ALL things are possible!
 There have been many times in my life where I never would have had the courage or the strength or the over all ability to perform a task without the help of my Heavenly Father.  Before I came back to school this semester, my dad gave me a priesthood blessing.  One of the many things that he said in it was that I would have to experience hard things but that I would be able to get through them through the help of my Heavenly Father.   When I first heard that, I almost wished that I hadn't gotten the blessing, but even in just the first three weeks of this semester, I've been thankful for that blessing and for the promises that were made to me.  I KNOW that no matter how hard this semester is or how hard the trials I have to go through in my life will be, that I can get through them through my Savior. God really does give us more than we can handle on our own.  But when we put our trust in him, we CAN get through anything!!
