30 Days Until Lee University!

There are 30 days left until I head down to Lee University! I cannot wait! I am so far beyond excitement. All I can think about is moving in. Meeting my roommate. Starting classes. My body is still in Maryland, but my mind is in Tennessee. Because of this my soul is in so much frustration and anxiety. All I want to do is be in TENNESSEE. Haha. :) 

I feel like a child waiting for Christmas. My birthday was a few days ago, and besides the fact that my friend threw me an amazing surprise birthday party with those I love, I have been looking more forward to moving in than I did my own birthday. I just keep playing scenarios in my head of what I am going to do. I had a dream last night about moving in and meeting my roommate. I have already begun packing. My room is full of college stuff on one side and yard sale stuff on the other. 

A friend of mine and I are throwing a yard sale in order to earn money. I really need financial help. I have been doing small odd jobs in order to get money, but they are not going to get me anywhere near where I need to be financially. Once I get to Tennessee I am going to get an actual semi-stable (because no young adult/teenage job is stable) to help gain money for tuition. I am thinking about getting a job on campus (or at least trying to because I hear it is difficult) because the employer automatically takes a part of your pay and puts it towards your tuition. This way I have less of an opportunity to blow money away that I need to pay tuition. At this point I am looking at many loans, and lots of debt. But this is just a small price to pay in order to follow Gods plan. When I get most stressed about the situation is when I become the most excited. Because as many have reminded me God will provide, and when things seem the messiest, God is right there in the process of creating some amazing things yet to come if you will just hold on for a little bit longer. God would not have told me one day on a trip in Hashua that I need to leave Towson and go to Lee University, going against many that want me to stay in Towson, if He was just going to leave me hanging to dry. Logically and to this world moving to Lee makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE, but to God is makes PERFECT sense. And that is what I am going for God, and perfection. :) So though I am TERRIFIED, I will follow God and my destiny, and I plan to do so till the day I die. And one day when I believe that the objective is way too impossible I will remember my youth pastor and his wife, and how they left me in order to set an example. They left me to follow God's impossible objective in their life, because doing anything different would set a terrible example for me and my brothers and sisters in my youth group. If they stayed, knowing that moving was their calling, then one day when things get tough for me I would have nothing to look forward too. I am sad they are leaving, but I will remember them the most when times are hard. Thank you for setting such an amazing example Pastor Brian and Jacqueline! Go do some AMAZING things in Florida! 

I know this was a very random post, and I am sorry for that but I just needed to write some! :) I really cannot wait until I am writing to you guys everyday. Yes sometimes my posts will suck, because sometimes life is uneventful, but the dedication I will have will make up for it. I will try as hard as I can to write to you each day about everything that is going on in my life. See you next time!

College Assignment:

Facebook Groups:

I want to suggest that you get involved in your school's Facebook Groups if they have them. This will help calm your nerves some. However, I want to suggest that you hold off on some of the elements. Comment on things that intrigue your interest. Interact with others. But wait until you are there before you start friending people and starting your own interactive groups with others. Keep some things intriguing. Wait until you are there before you get to actually know people. This makes it exciting when you get there. What would be the point if you got there, but all ready knew everyone in the building? So get involved, but not too involved!
