preparing for transition

so many thoughts going through my mind as I prepare to leave, or shall I say embark on another learning adventure. In 5 weeks I will be sleeping in a room filled with 30 other girls all in bunkbeds. I will not have a closet or my own kitchen to cook food in. I will have to abide by a curfew and modest dress code. Yes it all seems a bit extreme and was quite a shock to me.....but I have come to realize "I will be shaken till everything good will be left standing".

This experience is one that will make me better so I can in turn pour myself out to better others around me. God never said life would be easy, but He is faithful and He will never leave nor forsake me. Learning greater depths of self discipline which will draw me closer to my heavenly Father is what will bring me in the end satisfaction. I'm also starting to learn...I think I'm addicted to learning...ha ha...Watch out Tennesse, I will soon be en route!
