I can't believe I graduated a month ago and will be leaving home in about two months. Its hard to believe that I probably won't see the class that I've been with since kindergarten for a long time and won't be with them every day (like I have been for the past twelve years!). The longest amount of time that I've been away from home was the two weeks that I went to Peru last year, but I got to come back and see my family after that. But this time I will 11 hours away from home and won't be able to come home until probably Thanksgiving! Its a really scary thing for me. But I know that God will have things for me to learn and great experiences for me to go through on my own. I'm already making packing lists, buying dorm supplies, and looking forward to meeting my roomate! :)
I'll get to go up there on July 11th, where I'll find out who my roomate is, schedule classes, and find out dreaded financial payment information.
I've also been struggling with the fact that I do not have a job, and probably will not find one this summer, since I am going away to school. I've been trying to see God's will through it, but its been tough since I just bought a car and could really use the extra funds. However, I believe that God has answered my prayers. When I went to an orientation to for volunteers at a hospital, I found out that there is an oppportunity for me to volunteer in an old folks rehabiliation center! I am so excited! I've been asking God why He wouldn't open up the door to a job for me, and now I see this may be the reason. I've been realizing a lot lately that things always happen in the Lord's timing. He knows what His plan is for me, and worrying about it will not make it any more bearable. Going to college is going to bring a lot of crazy experiences my way, and I know that I'm just going to have to join God on the ride and hang on tight. I just hope that it doesn't go by too fast.
