Finals are this week. Another semester is over, practically before it started, it seems. I cannot believe that next semester is my last full semester. After that, it’s one summer semester, and then…real life. 
/ 
I seriously go between feeling super excited about the future (I’m getting married in 300 days!!!!!) to kinda worried (what will life be like after school? What will I do? Where will I live?). It’s been a semester full of rollercoastering (it’s a word(now)) emotions. I’ve had some of the happiest moments in my life to date, but then again, I’ve had some moments where I felt like the only thing I could be sure about after I graduate is that I’m getting married. And that’s all. Really, I’m getting worried about my future about one year in advance. Lame? Yes. Unnecessary? Yes.
Although I’m anxious to know what the future holds after I graduate next August, when I really sit back and think about it, I’m not worried at all! I’ve got the best insurance in the world in God, and I’ll be starting the best chapter of my life thus far. I have nothing to worry about. Not where I’ll live, not what I’ll eat, not what I’ll wear. Jesus says:
“Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; but I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you? You men of little faith! And do not seek what you will eat and what you will drink, and do not keep worrying. For all these things the nations of the world eagerly seek; but your Father knows that you need these things. But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added to you.” Luke 12:27-31, NASB
So whenever I start to think about the way that I have never before stepped into such an unknown, I’ll consider the lilies.
