I've been so stressed about college coming and it's just around the corner!! It starts on Thursday and I'm feeling like I should be freaking out. I had so many things that I needed to get still and so many things that weren't even close to being finished by Thursday. When I talked to others about how everything is in five thousand different directions, I always fallowed up by "God sent me to Grace. He will make it work out." Little did I realize I was also trying to convince my self. That's just what God did though.
About a week or two ago I had nothing for college. I was in desperate need for things. I had no idea how was going to get these things. Mom and dad had to work all day everyday and Heather had to work sometimes, so I wouldn't have a vehicle. Plus, I couldn't go by myself because I didn't know what I needed. Then I talk to my sister who is going through problems of her own totally helped me! She sent me a college list. Yay! I had something to go off of, but I didn't want to spend a lot on on the wrong thing. Do I need the bed sheets to be stretchy (like Jersey) or do I want them to be normal. They were al small things, but even though Jersey is comfortable does not mean it's the best. Apparently it stretches more and more with uses and decides not to fit the bed as well. I also had to worry about paying. My other sister started looking for coupons. It was awesome! I saved $20 dollars on a purchase because of that! When my coupon sister didn't have to work, she took me shopping and talked me through my spending. Between my sisters I have pretty much everything I need. Thank God for that! Something was still stressing me out though...
Just a couple days ago I didn't have any classes and I wasn't enrolled. I didn't even know if I had a place to stay! I FINALLY got ahold of Grace... I already had classes and I have an asian room mate! Say What?? I couldn't believe it. God did exactly what I told people He would do! Everything came together and all I can do is praise God because I don't know how else it could've ever happened. The only stresser I have now is payment, but I know God can help me through that too.
I may have acquired my first grey hairs through this, but I also got more faith in God. I am ready for college. I can finally say it. Bring on the next stage of life!
