It's been a while since I posted. A lot has happened lately. I'm not even sure where to start. I just thought I would stop by quickly to share my heart.
I am now officially a college freshman. Even with the obstacles I've had to face already, everything has been amazing so far. I've already made some new friends, and I can't wait to continue making more.
On the topic of starting school, it fully hit me a few days ago how fast time has actually passed over the last few years. Shortly after I started considering the church I currently attend to be my home church, I remember looking ahead to the future and doing the math. I still vividly remember thinking back when I was in middle school about how when I was a senior in high school, some of my younger sisters in Christ would be where I was then. I then came to the conclusion that some of them would be freshman in high school when I became a freshman in college. Well, now that time has come. I recall reading personal narratives back when I was a freshman in high school where the authors mentioned how fast high school went by. After just finishing that season of my life, I can personally attest to how fast the years go. It's hard to believe that the kids I grew up with are now teenagers and taller than me.
I have loved watching them all grow up both mentally and spiritually over the years. We have all come a long way over the last few years. Because I'm me, I have fears over my younger brothers and sisters in Christ as they begin a new school year, but I have no doubt that God will continue doing amazing things through and among us all. No matter what's in store, I'm looking forward to it all. I know and trust that God's will for all of us will be for our good.
Jesus, thank you for my church community. Thank you for the deep love we share for one another. As we prepare for the school year ahead, I pray you may equip each and every one of us with what we need to impact our world for You. May everything we do bring glory to Your kingdom. I pray this school year would teach each and everyone of us that our nearness to You is our only good. I pray we may grow closer to each other and be able to be open, honest, and vulnerable about our hard with each other. I have no doubt great things will happen during this upcoming school year. In Your name, amen.
