New Chapters

This year has the beginning of a new chapter in my life. I graduated high school and started preparing for college (I'm now a proud student of the Author Conservatory!). My role in my summer job changed, with more responsibilities placed on me, and my living situation changed as well. And once fall hit, it was the start of a new job and my first few months as a college student.

It's been overwhelming sometimes.

But recently I saw a quote, "You have never been in this exact moment before, so you don't need to pretend like you know exactly what to do." This quote has been very applicable in my life recently. I don't know exactly what my schedule's gonna look like this year. I don't understand every aspect of my job. I don't have all the answers when it comes to relationships with new people.

It's okay to admit that you don't know something. You kidding me? I didn't know where I was going to school until the beginning of summer. And when people would ask me what my plans were, I was tempted to say that I had everything figured out. But admitting that I didn't know where I was going or even what I was hoping to study opened up opportunities for people to pour into me. It's been amazing to see how many people are praying for me and who just want what God wants for me.

But as so many people now are aware of my plans and where I hope to be in life, I have their expectations as well as mine to keep track of. And I will admit that I jumped into this season rather hastily. I hadn't made my decision, and I received an email urging me to join the Conservatory and I reacted. I made the deposit and for the rest of the summer; I questioned my decision. I hadn't taken the time to prepare a good foundation and prepare myself for this change. But God is so good, and He is using this to draw me closer to Him. My family is being so supportive and I'm excited to see where this new year takes me.

So what things are new for you this season? What things are you dreading this coming year? What things have you smiling when you think of them?

New for me is a fully replaced and recovered knee.

I’m dreading packing and moving, but what makes me smile is that I will be living closer to 2 of our 4 children and 5 of our 7 living grandchildren, also I will be able to go to church with them.
