Several times a day, I am asked if I am excited to go to college....
YES! I am thrilled, and terrified, and looking forward to the new adventure and being out of my comfort zone. I am excited to spend time learning God's Word more specifically and focused in preparation for more service to God. I look forward to being around other like-minded people my age! I look forward to meeting and learning from more Godly Christians. My "family" is continually growing and I love it!
It's always hard to say farewell to people that you love! I always grow very close to the people in the churches that I go to, because they are my family- and I don't have relatives around! So many people refer to America as my "home" and I kinda laugh and reassure them that NZ is the home of my heart! So- as I tell people whenever they ask me that initial question- "I am excited to go to college, but I want to cry about every time I think about leaving NZ." God knows, though- He is my strength! Please, please pray for strength for me! I am very attached, yet know that I'll be absolutely happy in Canada! Write me heaps!
God is Good- All the time!
hey hun,
ReplyDeleteJust think that with the move to Canada - it means I get to see you that much sooner!!!! Oh! I soooo want to come over there and be with ya for your last few weeks, it's gonna be so hard for you, but the Lord is merciful!!!!!
A new 'home' at least for a little while! And remember that 'this world is not my home' anyway... the Lord has SO much more in store for us in eternity... wow! can you imagine what???!!!! And there will be no more tears or good-byes or anything there!!!!!
Love you and I can't wait to talk to you soon!!!!!!!!
