Walk 6

Wow, can you believe that tomorrow this blog will be one week old.

I can't believe I haven't skipped a day yet, heh.

To prevent skipping, I've been numbering all my entries...

You know, in case you've been wondering about that obviously confusing part of my blog.

I promise, no matter how crappy or short, I will always write.

Unless I don't have internet access.

Then, I will try to write it on a Word document and then repost.

Or I may write it on an actual sheet of paper if it comes to that.

*Gasp!*  Not an actual piece of paper!

Yes, amazing is it not. People actually use that stuff still.

Like, all the time actually.

Anyways...

Good things on the 6th of January:

 

• Going to lunch and shopping with my Mom and Grandma. Mom bought yet another set of curtains she didn't like and I found a pair of boots I liked/need. Yes, I actually need them. I have no winter weather shoes (not that it's been very wintery here though). However, the store didn't have the size I needed in the color I wanted, and, since they're not making anymore boots this season, I may have to buy black ones if no other store has a pair of the brown to ship to me. 
• Having a lot of leftovers from lunch. We had hibachi :)
• Making peanut butter popcorn!
• Watching more of The Office. I am nearly done with season 5! Just two more episodes to go.
• Reading Walk 6 from the Daily Walk Bible.

So... I'm getting a little nervous.

College starts back on the 12th.

I know I shouldn't be nervous, but yet I am.

I'm scared that I'll fail the courses that I have to make up work in.

I'm scared that I won't know what the heck is going on in chemistry.

I'm nervous about actually having a roommate this semester.

I'm worried about Walter.

Even though Walter isn't too high maintenance, I'm just kind of worried about how he'll affect me. Most of my classes are in the morning, because I hope to get a job, and I wonder if Walter is going to be a hindrance. Will he cause me to be late if I do get a job? Will I have to walk through campus looking like I have a big tumor on my stomach? 

I'm just nervous.

I know I'll be totally fine though once I actually get up there and start seeing people again.

Sometimes I just wish I could go back to high school.

Don't get me wrong, college is great. I love the freedom that comes along with it.

But high school...

it was safe.

I did the same thing on the same schedule for four years with the same people that I've been going to school with since third grade.

High school was safe and comfortable,

even if I had the lowest self-confidence then.

Oh, and you know the title of that book - 

Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) - 

That title was totally and completely my life in high school.

I've never actually read that book though.

However, the excerpt seems funny.

Maybe I'll read it.

Anyways, back to the point.

High school was safe, and half the time now, I have no idea what I'm doing in college.

If only life were simple...

So, today's reading was over the covenant God made to Abram/Abraham. 

I liked the point my Dad made about it at dinner.

He said something along the lines of no matter how alone we feel, God's always there.

Abraham waited 13 years in between God talking to him and delivering on His promise.

Dad also mentioned that he liked this comment in our Bibles, and I have to agree:

Many people have turned and left the dock just before their ship came in.

   I guess the lesson we can learn from today is patience and how perfect God's timing is.
