My Big Day!

Okay... I had the first day on campus!

I woke up very calm after a long previous week of prayer to prepare. I slowly got ready trying to anticipate what I was going to find after I got there. I left at 9:45 a.m. (which is slightly early since my first class is at 12:30 p.m.) :) I wanted to be sure that I had plenty of time!

I got there and eventually found a parking place. I believe that it was just luck. I read some in the library and explored a little but not too much, and then entered in at 12:30.

It is Human Growth & Development. The teacher is OK.. She wanted us to put our name on a name tag, and then draw an icon that described us best, or something that represents us. First thing to mind was a cross. I started to get nervous at the very thought. "I can't put a cross on this thing... people won't talk to me, or think that I am weird" I ashamadely put a circle with a slash through it representing my silenceness to proclaiming my beliefs. As everyone intriduced themselves and gave a small description of who they were, I listened with a very heavy heart recalling some scripture. I felt like Peter! How can I do this to my Savior????

It comes to a young lady who has a cross on her name tag and boldly proclaimed her belief in Christ. I felt so proud of her, and yet so ashamed by my stupid sinful worldly fleshly way. I can't believe that I was in the "world" for 10 minutes and already turned my back on Jesus! How disappointing! I will have to see that "icon" on my desk reminding me of my silence throughout the whole semester. Lesson learned, lesson learned!
