New Chapter

Classes start in 3 weeks.

I can't believe it. I can't believe I'm going to be packing, moving to a new city, starting school at a new campus. I was more excited 6 months ago than I am now. Now I'm scared. I don't know why either... Other people get scared, but not me. I was so brave when I left Texas for college. My freshman year in Iowa was a miserable one to say the least, but that didn't deter me from moving on to bigger and better things my sophomore year. I loved it! The UNT campus, the town of Denton, Denton Bibile Church. It was great. It was "me". It was what I needed and where I needed to be. Moving to England was even more exciting. A one-way ticket, reservations at a hostel in London, and absolutely NO job prospects was what I had and I couldn't have been happier. I can't believe that the same girl who moved out-of-state for college, then transferred back to the 3rd largest university in Texas, moved to the UK on a wing and a prayer, is now freaking out about moving an hour and a half away from home to go to grad school. I have all my ducks in a row; my financial aid is ready, I have an apartment reserved, I have nothing to worry about. So why is it that I feel like I have everything to worry about???

I know I need to have faith that God is taking care of me.
It's just such a still, small voice compared to the ones in my head rattling off things to worry about...
I need to "take every thought captive".
I need spiritual ear-plugs.

Great Is Thy Faithfulness

"No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them. Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:5-9
