Recently I was playing with my nephew when I asked if he was excited about graduating from Kindergarten. His instant reply was “No!”
Why?” I asked.
“Because I have to go to first grade and meet all new people and stay at school all day.”
My sweet 6-year-old nephew felt the pressure and insecurity of change. I was amazed that his little boy was concerned about his future.My sweet 6-year-old nephew felt the pressure and insecurity of change. I was amazed that his little boy was concerned about his future.
I am sure there are those of you leaving a level of school and going to another and your future seems uncertain. I can remember with every change I made in school the pressure, nervousness, and fear that would follow me. I would wonder:Will I have friends
• Would I understand the new material
• Would my teacher like me
• Would I pick the right classes
• Would I make the right decisions
There were always a few rough weeks and I would pray, agonize, cry, fret…I’m sure you can relate. But in every case God was always with me. He was leading, guiding and showing his will for my life.
Jeremiah 29:11 says, ‘For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
How encouraging! We don’t have to worry or be afraid because no matter what transition you are facing know this…
• God is on the throne
• You are HIS Child
• He adores you and wants the best for you.
• His is in control
So relax and let him lead you and take away your fears. |
