T-3 days. School is nearly back in session! I was determined to use this summer to prepare and to get ahead, but as you can probably imagine, my habitual desire to procrastinate was stronger than my will and determination, sadly, but that's okay!
However, I do feel more nervous than I had anticipated. Nervous in every way, too, about everything. School, work, social life, tuition. I'd be lying if I said I'd prayed about it and was no longer nervous. I want to work hard in school and I'm nervous that I'll get disappointed and disappoint others (notice I said "get disappointed" and not "if") when my efforts are not up to par. I want to work well in this new job (I'm a student ambassador!) and I'm nervous in the most excited way possible. I want to invest in people, make time, listen and be balanced in all of that and that makes me nervous because, well, it's tough. And school, it's expensive.
Amid all that I'm feeling, it is so good to know that God .. is .. in .. control. He says that we don't have to feel nervous, nor do we need to feel anxious about anything, but simply desires for us to go to Him. I love looking back and seeing His hand in all the areas of my life - which just so happens to be school, work, social life, tuition! It's exciting to see God's plan unfolding little by little and as this new year of school approaches, I'm looking forward to the new things, the changes, the people, friendships, but most of all, growth.
I'll leave you with this:
May you be a witness to the world of the work that the Lord is doing in your life and at the end of it all, continue to say, more of Jesus, less of me.
I can't wait to share more about what the Lord is doing in my life! Until then, take care!
