it's really strange to think that I'm going to be beginning my second year at UCI in a matter of weeks, when I so clearly remember move-in weekend and the fun of my first 'welcome week' and my first experience of a new freedom away from home. I still haven't gotten to wrapping my head around this reality, but I'm excited and ready to see what this next chapter has in store!
this coming year, I have a little more on my plate: living in a new apartment with new roomies and apartment responsibilities, four courses (verses 3 courses--thanks to the evil/lifesaving HumCore) each quarter, serving in aacf--which I am stoked to see how God will teach me and use me, and hopes of working on the side to make some extra cash, in addition to lots, and lots of studying and finding time to spend with friends.
as I count the weeks until I settle back into Irvine, I think about the excitement and the joy I feel in returning to school, but I also face the fears and anxiety of having a difficult year in school--or in life in general. but what's to fear in life when I have the security of the joy in my salvation and the promises that God has already offered me?
"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been calld according to his purpose." Romans 8:28 (NIV)
