You did it!

You have walked across the stage, turned your tassel and left your high school for good. You have now entered the ranks as a soon to be college student. Right now, you probably think that life will continue on the same when you step onto that college campus in the fall. However, this new chapter holds new challenges, worries and emotions. But, the best way to make it through these new situations is by seeking advice in God's Word.

For when you are tired...

For when you just need some encouragement...

Psalms 139:13-14 (NIV) -"For you created my inmost being;you knit me together in my mother’s womb.I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;your works are wonderful,I know that full well."
