Times are Changing

A week and a half, that's it. Then this chapter of my life is over. So much change in so little time: location, living situation, friends, schedules, activities... pretty much my whole life.

My mind swims from feelings of sadness to those of intense excitement, between the regret of treasures lost and anticipation of adventures waiting to be found. How does one even schedule time now? Or choose between friends to see? For that matter, which friendships will actually withstand these changes? Will I find friends as close as those I have now? What new opportunities will I find? And how will I deal with those lost?

So many questions, so many unanswerable variables... and yet, somehow I know it's going to be fantastic. These worries are already seeming to pass as I ask God for peace, and I know that He holds me and protects me as His own son. You tell me... what greater security can I ask for?!
