Second Semester Anticipation

I am starting my second semester of college in just four days. I keep telling myself to sleep while I can but for some reason I've hardly slept this whole last month. I'm one of those people who needs to see things work out and wonders on every detail of life. It's horrible and I have told myself a million times that everything will work out. I'm not just worried or stressed, I am crazy excited. I lay awake at night imagining a future. I imagine starting a job as a teacher and having summers off with my kids. I imagine finally being able to buy a house and make a home. I imagine having a second vehicle. I imagine loving on a child who may have a rough home life and seeing something in them that they can believe in. I imagine taking the summers to go to third world countries to help people. It isn't just about having a good career for me. It is about being used by God and doing what He has called us to. He will take care of our finances. I am not just excited about the future after I have a degree, I am excited about classes and learning and reading about new things. I love the classroom. I love lectures. I love pushing myself to learn new things. I love seeing that God can work in a college environment to teach us to further His kingdom. This season of life has been changing me from the inside out and I love it. I don't like being conformed to a certain mindset just because that is what the "church", parents, or whatever political party your apart of says. Life is good. Change is good. Being open minded is good. Working hard is good.
