The end.. Or is it the beginning?

I would like to start off by talking about graduating a little bit. Gradding was phenomenal, I feel like throughout that year I grew the most. I learned so much more about myself and the people who surrounded me. It was very tough, figuring out what I wanted to do and just dealing with leaving the world I had known so very well. I had my moments where I was so stressed out, dealing with the rest of my life. Although I eventually decided I was going to go to bible college, I wasn't too sure if I was ready. When prom came around I was super excited, as this was an event I had been waiting for my whole life and it was fun, but the best part was getting ready for it. Then there was the commencement ceremony and I thought that would be extremely boring, but as surprising as it may be I had a blast. Walking across that stage felt amazing and reminiscing the night away at dry grad with all my friends was something I needed. It was the end of life as I knew it; the summer was dawning over me and all my fears and worries of the future somehow subsided and made way for me to enjoy my summer. Summer was absolutely fantastic, I embraced the sunny Kelowna beaches for all they were worth and got to know a different group of people. Once the summer came to an end it was time to go though, there was a college shower and then bam! I was off to this foreign land upon a hill. At first it was super hard to deal with. All these people I didn't know and being stuck on a hill with nothing around wasn't my idea of life. I worked through it though and have managed to make some of the most amazing people. When I came here I thought of every reason to leave but God kept giving me one solid reason to stay, Him. It's not so bad now; I love the classes so for the first time in my life I actually care about my grades, the friends I have made are people that I now realize are the type of people I have always needed in my life, and last of all, everyday I'm challenged. With these challenges I'm slowly learning to take them as they come and not to let them upset me but to embrace them with everything I have. So anyways, I'm excited about this. For some reason I want to say something cheesy referring to M:A for anyone who knows what that is, but I can't think of anything quite cheesy enough. So I shall leave you all with this: 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. (Matt 6:34)
Embrace today guys, because with God, it really is only the beginning.
