I Gave it All to God

As my summer winds down, the day I leave for college approaches swiftly. Despite my honest excitement for study at Gordon, it has proved a challenge to leave everyone I love in PA for a school 11 hours away. Yet I realize that this difficult transition is all apart of God's plan of me being at Gordon. It has forced me to trust in Him, and give my anxiety, and more so just my temporary hurt over to Him. It's not easy, but giving my circumstance to Him has been nothing but a blessing. With Him by my side, I have peace, and can be fully excited for the new chapter ahead. I am comfortable with leaving, knowing that I can still call home any time I need. This next week of goodbyes will still be painful, yet it is not overwhelmingly stressful like it was when I was trying to bear this weight alone. Surely He has given me peace and comfort, and I.know He will be holding my hand and giving me strength for every goodbye. God is good. - Rachel Welty
