Flashback

I have officially completed my final fall semester of my undergraduate career.  In some ways, it feels like the past 3 ½ years have flown by; in other ways it feels like it’s been forever.

When I finished my first semester as a freshman, life was completely different…I was preparing to head to Mexico over Christmas break to visit a friend, I was single, I could easily stay up until 2 a.m. and function on little to no sleep, and I was an ICS major.

This afternoon I’ll be packing my bags to visit family in Ohio, my husband will be accompanying me on the trip, I can hardly stay up until 10 p.m. and need at least 7 hours of sleep (although 8 or 9 is preferable), and I will complete my Bible Teaching degree in the spring.

Although much has changed, some things have been constant – God’s faithfulness, His provision, the encouragement and challenge of His Word in my life, and the people He’s placed at CIU who have consistently impacted my time here.

Whether you have 3 ½ years to go at CIU or you will be graduating in a few months, celebrate, embrace, and enjoy the changes, but anchor yourself on that which is constant.
