Day 1

Hello College! :) Today has been a good day! What's a good day for a college student? Well for me it was good because I have limited homework! I accepted an internship for the summer. I spent time with my roommates and friends! I talked to my mom, dad, and sister all on the same day. That sums up part of the "good" part of my day! I'm excited to start the new semester...I might be regretting that statement tomorrow after I get out of chemistry. haha I think Chemistry might be somewhat challenging, but at least I know I will learn things in that class. I'm just glad to have my college math credit done! I think it's so cool when people are good at math. I love that they can just figure problems out.

I re-read Isaiah 43 today. I love this chapter!

But now, thus says the Lord, your Creator, O Jacob, and He formed you, O Israel, "Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are Mine! When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, nor will the flame burn you. Isaiah 43:1-2

What an encouraging passage! No matter what happens in life, if we have been saved by grace, God will be with us! When we have trials, when we have obstacles, when we have walls we cannot climb, God is ALWAYS going to be with us. Remember the Israelites leaving Egypt and God parting the Red Sea? Remember when Daniel's friends were thrown into the blazing furnace? God was always with them!...and the cool thing is that it still applies today! We don't have to be alone! We don't have to fear! All we have to do is believe and trust God. It's not always easy, but it's so worth it!

Well I better sign off for the night! I need to get a good night's sleep before I head to my classes tomorrow!
