So I am leaving to start my first semester of my first year of college at California Baptist University in 3 days. This definitely gives me a crazy mix of emotions. I am totally thrilled that I get to be with my brother and best friend Elizabeth Ann at college and get to meet many more friends. I am sad because I don't get to be with my sisters in high school. I am nervous because I don't know many people at college yet and don't know if I will make friends easily, and because I have never been to a new school in my whole life. I am fearful because I have to manage my own funds and be "on my own" and be responsible for my own life now more than ever.
A few nights I have lain awake worrying about it, whether I will be a loner and if I will be good at college and so many other things. But God is the Ultimate Comforter. He says to me, "For I hold you by your right hand--I, the Lord God. And I say to you, 'Don't be afraid. I am here to help you.'" Isaiah 41:13 He will fill me with confidence, because He "Has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline". He is going to be holding my hand all the way.
