This college stuff is yuck

Books, meal plans, classes, lectures, schedules, deadlines, AAAAHHHHH! aka, college. That's right folks, I am now in the freaking out stage of college prep. Books have been ordered, classes assigned (well, most of them...), and now I'm patiently waiting for school to begin. Am I ready? Absolutely not. So often this week I've been finding myself wishing I was going anywhere but Framingham come Tuesday. Maybe I didn't seek God enough on this. Maybe I just did this because it's what all my friends are doing. Maybe I should wait a year. Maybe I should go do missions stuff instead of going to college. Oh yeah, missions. Sharing the gospel. Being a light in a world of darkness. Maybe this is what God wants me to do. Maybe if I get beyond my own discomfort and selfishness, I'll see a bigger plan that is much more involved than I could ever imagine. Maybe I could stop leaning on my own understanding and trust that God knows what He's doing. It sure makes my job a lot easier.

"Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one." - John 17:11
