a whole new world

College. A hundred thoughts came rushing into my head every time I thought about Maranatha & what God had planned for me at college. What was I to expect--college is a whole new world compared to what I was used to. Would I be able to handle the classes (& the projects that came along with them)? What would my roommates be like? Would I be able to get along with them? Would I make any close friends of my own, or would I forever be known as "Jarid's little sister"? How was I going to pay my bill?


Now that I have been at college for about a month, I can dimly see God's purpose for me. I know that I am supposed to be attending Maranatha. My classes are not difficult, but challenging. I have an abundance of friends of my own, plus several of Jarid's, who appreciate me for me. God has blessed me with the coolest job on campus--yearbook & publications. What more could I want? My official & unofficial roommates have been such a blessing to me--with them I can laugh (& honk), relax, share a serious thought, debate, or just listen.
The Lord has answered my prayer in every area, and I know that He has many more marvelous things planned for me in this whole new world of college.
