Devotional
Battling stress as the year wings down
by Caitlin Mulvihill
Your shoulders are knotted, your
back is aching, your head is about to crack, and you don’t even have
time to scream! It’s that time of year again- the first semester is
drawing to a close with finals just around the corner and studying
is long overdue.
This is when we desperately need God, and most often forget Him. God
doesn’t want us to be stressed out; He wants to take away our burdens,
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you
rest.” (Matt. 11:28) God knows that you are stressed out- He knows
that you have 5 hours of homework, and he wants to help you. Instead
of trying to solve it on your own, take it to the cross. “Cast all
your anxiety on Him for he cares for you.” (1 Peter 5:7)
During this time, it is tempting to shove God to the side while busy
schedules get filled with schoolwork. Yet we are supposed to do just
the opposite. “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and
all these things will be given to you as well.” (Matt. 6:33) In other
words, if you put God first, even before finals, everything will fall
into place.
We have an amazing God waiting for us to come to him with our stress,
anxiety, and busy schedules. Don’t hesitate, don’t save Him for a
“last resort,” and don’t make Him wait!

JV Boys Soccer: Starting
Fresh
Usually, the boys J.V. roster is filled with quite a few freshmen.
As there is no freshmen soccer team, it is not at all unusual to see
some of Valley's newest students squaring off against some teams,
like Mitty and Bellarmine, who are chock full of sophomores and even
juniors. Naturally, putting freshman and juniors together seems slightly...
unfair. Things are going to be different this year.

Teacher Survey: Most
Embarrassing Holiday Moment?
Embarassing moments happen to everyone. They are not something
you can avoid or prevent, they are just part of life that most people
have learned to accept and shake off. Christmas brings joy but it
can also bring several embarrassing moments that a majority of people
would much rather forget. The events of Christmas such as the putting
up of the Christmas tree, or maybe trying to put together some of
the presents that say "assembly required" can bring those
most memorable Christmas moments.
