College

First week… completed.

I don’t really know how I feel about it yet. It’s kind of lonely, I loved being able to goof around with friends in class in high school, and now… I don’t know anyone. It’s weird. I feel very independent, but overwhelmed. I already have 3 papers and a speech to write. I don’t really know how I’m going to do 6 years of this.

Pray for me, please! My goal is to become a Speech Pathologist, which requires a masters. I’m not a school person, but I really think this is what I want to do and I don’t want to settle for something I will “kind of” like because I’m too lazy to finish school.

I shouldn’t complain, I’m so blessed to be able to afford a college education. God has been so good to me, I hope I can glorify and serve Him with my life and career. I’m thinking we were all put in the positions we are put in for a reason. I just have to find it! That’s the difficult part.

Another thought, why do I worry about this so much? We are only here for a moment in time, I need to stop worrying and take it in while it’s here, spend all the time I spend worrying and use it for His glory. Worrying is a big problem for me.

I heard a sermon one time and the pastor said that whenever he starts to really worry about something he says to himself, “Look at the birds!”, referring to Matthew 6. I say that to myself all the time now…

²⁶ Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? ²⁷ Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? (NLT)

No, they can’t! Good news.

So, that’s what’s on my mind. Love you all.
