It's been a few days since my last post and I apologize for that (even though no one is really reading this...) I just spent the last three days in the great city of Boston, exploring the place where I will be spending the next three years as a student at BC. I have to say that I was very impressed, and I'm really starting to get excited for the next chapter in my life.
A lot of what we talked about were specifics about living in Boston, i.e. apartment hunting, paying rent, financial aid, laundry and groceries, etc. It's all a pretty new concept to me since my undergraduate experience was in rural Western NY with ample parking, low costs, and little traffic. This will all be a new experience for me, and I would be lying if I said that I wasn't nervous about it. I tend to get very stressed about the little details. It's in these moments that I worry if God is really as big as my problems.
We are called to leave our worries behind, and to not worry about what we will eat and drink and wear and where we will live. But forgive me if I don't believe that God will suddenly come down from heaven and give me rent money. I have faith that God will give me the opportunities that will allow me to support myself, but it doesn't stop me from stressing out. I think that the next six months are going to be a really big test of my faith.
There's not really a big spiritual lesson in this post. I'm just thinking and musing and praying. "Be still and know that I AM God."
Peace.
