As I think over the changes that have occurred in my life and the world around me, I can honestly say that initially, many of them were conceived as negative. I’m sure I’m not alone in this. For some people, change is welcomed with open arms. Over time, I’ve become on of those people.
Due to my increasing faith in Jesus Christ, I’m able to view life changes as opportunities rather than obstacles. Reading scriptures from the Holy Bible helps encourage me daily. There is one scripture that states that all things work together for the good of those who love God. Whenever what seems to be negative changes occur in my life, I think back on that scripture as a reminder that this will work out fine.
As far as school goes, I feel more prepared this second time around. I have a new outlook on the classes and the lessons to be learned. I’ve shared with friends that being spiritually filled has made this experience more rewarding, because not only will I be doing what I love to do, I will be doing it with a purpose far greater than what the eyes may see right now. I anticipate that there will be many challenges as the course progresses. Being a single mom, youth president and working will be some to name a few, but I’m ready to take them on.
During the course of school, I will reflect on all the significant changes in my life as motivation to never give up when changes come my way.
