College Life as I know it...

SOO I have now been in college for 3 monthes. Tomorrow I leave to go home for Thanksgiving and I'm honestly sad to leave my friends from school. I LOVE everything about Carson-Newman. I love the God focusedness of the whole thing. I love how I have made so many amazing friends who I know will be a part of my life forever. I can be myself around them, and they love me for who I am. I can't believe how fast these past 3 monthes have flown by. I've changed my major. I'm not going to be a teacher anymore, atleast not in a classroom. I know that I'm supposed to teach, but I don't think the classroom setting is for me. Right now my only major is Religion and I'm adding a second major in sociology probally some time in the Spring. I'm really excited about that too. I'm excited that I'm going to have a job where I can serve God and people all day every day. I can't wait. This past month has been really stressful because I've really been trying to listen to the voice of God, and discern His plans, and He keeps saying, "you'll know when you're supposed to know." It's kind of scary yet refreshing to be able to compltely rely on God for everything. I really feel that God wants me to work at Camp Merri-Mac this summer and I'm terrified because I'm not sure I'm as strong as I need to be with my walk with The Lord. I really have a passion to work with teenage girls so it's exciting for me to be able to do this. Although it shouldn't be, I'm scared about money and not having enough money to come to school here in the fall of 2011. I'm going to have to work my tail off to get scholarships and stuff in order to be able to stay here. I need more faith so that I can fully rely on the power of Christ to provide for my every need. I think a lot of times we don't take Christ seriously when He says, "take up the cross and follow me." Do we think Christ is kidding when He tells us that? No, definitley not. God doesn't want us to be caught up in material things. He wants us to rely on Him for our every need, and we can, and He will provide for us. It may not be easy, but it will definitely be worth it in the end. Lord, my prayer is that you help me to grow into a person who is not focused on material things and that you help me to live my life where I can live every second in your arms!
