transition.

Life flies by. It does. One minute you are leaving high school headed for this crazy place called college. You have no idea what's ahead. Only what has been told to you of "i remember this one time in college" or "just wait until college, the friendships you make will be for a lifetime". I mean, I went into college as a skeptic. I had an incredible high school experience filled with some of the most amazing women to walk through that step of life with, but I had no idea what incredible and molding experiences the Lord had perfectly laid out for me over these past four years. Texas A&M holds laughter, tears, midnight conversations, the "hot seat", roadtrips, loss, gain, and friends who have spurred me on and as iron sharpens iron, challenged me to grow deeper and pursue Christ above all else in this life. You see, having been one month out of college I see how much the past four years has meant to me. I remember the girl I was leaving Lubbock, Texas and driving six and a half hours away to college knowing a handful of people. Now, I sit here in Dallas, Texas with a group of girls who truly have been there for me through the thick and the thin and I see the transformation of my faith the Lord has taken me on. I have discovered what grace is and through a painful process I have been learning what filth and disgust I hold in my flesh and what great a need I have for my Savior. I am not perfect, but far from it. My faith and my relationship with the Lord is all that I have that is a constant in my life. He is all I need, and all I want to desire. Apart from Him, I am nothing, and all I have are empty desires filled with meaningless strivings. I don't know what the next year or even 3 months of my life look like, but I do know that I have a loving, heavenly Father who will guide my steps perfectly and lead me to the places He desires for me to go. Lord, give me strength and courage to step out on faith where you desire. May my light be from You alone and continue to take my focus off myself. I want to go through this adventure trusting You with every step.
