Confessions of a RAWC Star

Just a little bit nervous about finally returning to college to finally put some closure to a few things that have weighed heavy upon me for some time now. First class starts tomorrow evening and I’m a mixed bag of nervousness, excitement, joy and even a bit of anxiety all wrapped up into one. I had my doubts about actually returning to the physical classroom but after some deep thought and many prayers, I finally decided that this is the best way to go.

As I wind down tonight and think about how different my life is now compared to when I first started my college journey, I must confess, I’ve learned so much more outside of the classroom than inside the confines of any lecture hall. God has amazed me with His tutorials, His life lessons, His home assignments and the many tests and exams to solidify my understanding and growth before being promoted to the next level. All I can say when I think about then to now is “Lord, thank you for your mercy and your grace!”

I must say, in that perspective returning to school for academics seems like it might be a lot easier than some of the hard life lessons I’ve had to endure over the past decade of my life. Yet and still God understands how much it means to me on a personal level to finish this chapter in my life and I thank Him for honoring my heart’s desire and opening the door me to accomplish my goal. (By the way, I know of this GREAT book called Daily Inspirations for Adult Learners: 31 Days of Prayer, Encouragement and Personal Reflection to Help You Achieve Academic Success...please check it out by clicking this link.

So with that, I’m girding up my college-bound loins, shodding my feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace and heading to class tomorrow! Thanks for reading my RAWC Star ramblings and remember,

Confession is good for the soul they say...
