I Had Nothing to Do With It

I am an official college student now. My first classes are on Monday, August 25. This is surreal to me. I never thought I would ever return to school. I was too fearful and I lacked any confidence. But, with the support of friends and the leading of God I finally applied. The whole process ran smoothly. Today was the beginning of Welcome Weekend. I took a math proficiency test and failed it miserably. I haven't used math at all in the last 8 years. This means I will have to take a remedial math refresher course. I don't mind this at all. I want to remind my brain how to use algebra. When I was in Evansville I tested and got placed in a Calculus class. It is true, if you don't use it, you loose it.
As I was walking the campus I started marveling at how caught off guard I am. This transition was completely unexpected. God has opened doors and secretly pushed me through them. I keep hearing this phrase. "I went to the enemy's camp and I took back what he stole from me!" The enemy stole my hopes when I left University of Evansville. I firmly believed that I would never heal from the experience. I was sure that after that heartbreak I would never chase after my dreams again. I'm am extremely grateful to God for everything He has done for me. He is in the process of healing deep wounds. I love Him and owe Him my life.
