Never worry about numbers.  Help one person at a time, and always start with the person nearest you.  ~Mother Teresa

School Anxiety

So summer break is quickly coming to an end and as this happens, I have taken time to reflect on the past semester. Last semester I transferred from Northeastern State University to the University of Oklahoma. I do not believe that I have ever been more scared of moving in my life. The move matured my in many ways- not only as a person, but also in my Christian walk. I switched from being a social work major to Religious Studies and have learned so much more about the Bible (mostly thanks to my Bible as Literature class). I quickly found a home at Christ on Campus (newly named Fusion College Ministry). The people there were so accepting and welcoming and I instantly felt as if I had found my church family. The classes were definitely more difficult. I have never had to read or write so many papers before, but as I look back on it- I loved writing the papers!

The reason I write all of this is because I believe that God was pushing for me to transfer and to move out of my comfort zone. Francis Chan put it best when he said that  "But God doesn't call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust Him so completely that we are unafraid to put ourselves in situations where we will be in trouble if He doesn't come through." God wanted me to leave my comfort zone in order to expand and strengthen my walk with Him. Since the transfer I can feel God in everything that I do!

I am excited to see how God is going to get me through another crazy semester and what adventures my life will take me on!
