In one week, I will be starting college. College brings on a whole lot of change. It kinda feels like my world is being turned upside down. If you know me at all, you know I do not like change, at all! In just the past week, a lot has changed. Three of my friends moved into their dorms, two of them in St. Charles, and the other in Kirksville. Going from seeing my friend’s everyday, to maybe once a week is rough, and I am not liking it! As for my friend who went to Kirksville, will that is the hardest of all. Just knowing that I won’t get to see her for two or three months makes me really sad because we grew really close in the past year.
Another change that I already know I am not going to like is the traffic that I will be siting in everyday. I am impatient and I know that I am going to have a long commute to school. I am not looking forward to it at all!
College is confusing as well. I go from this class in this building, to that class in that building, but only on this day. What????? College is so much bigger than high school, and I thought I attended a pretty big one. And they say high school is supposed to prepare you for college… well, they were wrong. High school is one building; College is lots of buildings spread across an entire campus. Oh and trying to decide on a major, well that’s a whole different story. You are telling me that I have to decide what I want to do in life and take corresponding classes? Who do you think I am?
In the midst of all of this change and chaos, I will be clinging to this verse:
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” ~Jeremiah 29:11
I know that my God knows what He is doing, and my path is already laid out for me! He has carefully planned out my whole life with my best interest in mind. I just have to make sure I am seeking Him and listening to what He tells me to do. He holds all of the answers.
I know that through everything that is going on, God still holds my life in His hands and I have absolutely nothing to worry about.
