New Beginnings

New beginnings are :

  • Fun
  • Scary
  • Exciting
  • Scary
  • Opportunities
  • Chances worth taking
  • Scary
Do you get my drift?
I have never been a proponent of change, but I am learning to readjust my perspective a bit. I have recently become a student at North Greenville University, which is officially the biggest change that my short life has ever seen. North Greenville was a new beginning that was risky and challenging, but most definitely worth the risk. I have already made friends that will impact my life for years to come. I have experienced worship services that have changed the lives of students all over campus. Most importantly, on the first day of school, a total of fifty students accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior! Oh my gracious!
Where else does that happen?

Basically, my point is that new beginnings are most definitely scary, especially to me. But I am learning to trust God in the valleys as well as on the mountain tops. I must give my fear of change over to Him and let Him transform me so that I can follow WHEREVER He leads in the future.

Yes, new beginnings are scary, risky, and challenging. But most of all new beginnings are BEAUTIFUL experiences that will guide us towards a life that is...

FULLY ALIVE.
