That's why Proverbs 16 is such a comfort to me. I don't have to worry about the future because God directs my steps. No matter what happens, I can trust that God will open the right doors at the right times.
Stretched to the Savior
What will I do when I’m forced to be with people constantly? What will happen when I’m only able to see my family once a month for very short periods of time? What will be my fate as an introverted freshman who's terrified of making new friends? What if I can't "do" college?
The End of an Era
I wish I could stay in high school forever with my family, friends, and church family. Instead, I can prepare for college life—meeting new people, experiencing new things, and learning to juggle a new schedule. As I’ve mentioned multiple times on my blog, these upcoming experiences freak me out. A tiny part of me is excited, but the other part of me would rather crawl in a hole than go off to college.
The Unchanging Truth of Christmas
The truth is that Christmas is still Christmas, and we still need to celebrate for the right reasons. That fact has never changed. Jesus came to earth as a baby to save us from our sins. Nothing has changed there. The manger was uncomfortable. The stable was lonely. The mother was afraid. The father was unsure. But Jesus was here. He was finally here. And He brought peace. He gave us Christmas.
