Today is the day before I move to college! My feelings about this I don't even know! I am scared and excited and anticipating! I'm going to the University of Nebraska at Lincoln and Lincoln is much larger than our little ranch and there is a lot more people! I have always thought I would never make it this far. That college was just something that I dreamed about that might happen some day. Now it is reality!
I find that when I'm nervous or excited, I need to step back take a deep breath and look. Look at what I have accomplished and what I am about to step into and then think of all the blessings I have and thank God for them. For instance, I am so blessed to have my roommate be my bestest friend in the whole wide universe! I have known Sarah for almost 15 years of my life and we are going to go to college together too! Not having to worry about who my college roommate is quite the blessing! Many people aren't as blessed as I am. God has not only allowed me to have my best friend be my roommate but he has also provided a marvelous church to attend while I am there! The Lincoln Berean Church is pastored by someone who use to be the Pastor at our church that we attend here at home! Amazing!!! I am also blessed to have such great family and friends who will be close to Lincoln should I need anything. But the best blessing of all is the presence of God will be with me always!!! In class and in church, in the dorm room and on campus and off campus! How thankful I am for God!!!
This is a new experience and God will guide me through it if I allow Him to. He will help with decisions and important choices in my life!!! Praise God!!!
