Beginning Anew

So my sophmore year of college started today...and I have to say I'm both excited and nervous. Excited because of the new classes, both old and new friends, and the anticipation of all God has for me this year! But nervous because graduation is looming closer and closer, meaning I have so much to do and learn in the next three years. My roommate and I are beginning to realize that college is not fairly represented by freshmen year...college is intense! Tack on a job I don't have yet and the Big Brother Big Sister program and you have an extremely intense yet exciting college career crammed into only three more short years!! But anytime I begin to worry, God's peace flows over me, reminding me that He is in control of EVERYTHING...and for good reason!

The theme of my year is trust. Over the past year God has drastically changed me! Now comes the time when I must put what I have learned into practice. For those of you who know me, I love to be in control! But that's not what God desires for me. He knows every detail of my life and is weaving them together to create a beautilful handiwork fit for His use. So I must surrender to His Hand and allow Him to complete His good work.

As I begin another year, I thank God for what He has already done in my life and the people He has placed in my path to walk alongside me! I look forward to all He has for me this year and the new people I will meet! God is great!

Patiently waiting on God's timing,
Briana
