I finally finished "Why college matters to God." All around, it was a decent book. Like any book, it grew a little boring in the middle, but picked up again towards the end. Rather than bore you with all the details, i'll just share the one key factor i took away from it. The purpose of a Christian liberal arts school is to train and raise up educated Christians who are ready to become an agent of redemption in a fallen world. I pray that Covenant will be this place for me, that it will provide with an outstanding education, and that i will leave college prepared, not only for the working world, but as a stronger and more mature person. Now the only thing left for me to do is write my paper...
As August 20th quickly approaches, my emotions are going up and down. I am ecstatic to be going to Covenant, but i am nervous and scared to be going so far from home. Yet on the other hand, being so far from home gives me this thrill of excitement and wonderful sense of independence. I miss high school and the people i knew there, but on the other hand i am ready and excited to meet and develop new friendships. I am very nervous about the classes and the workload and will i be able to handle it? But most of all, above all of those, i am worried about my migraines. This summer has been one of the worst testing times, since i first began with my migraines 8 years ago. Will i be able to handle the work and my migraines? Will i be able to sleep and deal with a lack of sleep?
And the most burdening question of all: Will i be able to afford to return to covenant in the spring semester?
"Do not worry about tomorrow..."
