Rest for the Weary

Have you ever felt nervous and anxious about whats next? Have you ever had dreams that you haven't been somewhere a while and then you return and you don't recognize the place? Thats me right now. I'm heading back to Lexington to a world I left 5 months ago and I am anxious.

I used to have dreams of coming to high school one day and not knowing where i was and being disoriented and not being able to find my locker. I've had that dream on and off for a few years now, but now it feels more like reality. Something about returning to a life that was so routine 5 months ago is a bit nerve racking now. I know that this is the last semester for most of my friends. I have friends I may not see much after May. I'll still be here finishing my last semester in the fall unless God finds a loophole for me. And it kinda scares me. I've done the best I know to get ready for heading back, but its still a bit scary. All I know is that I have to trust in the Lord as my peace. This song 'Rest for the Weary' by Cool Hand Luke keeps circling in my head and its calming me.

"You're my Jesus
You're my hero
Everything I wish I could be....
You're the one who comforts me
When everyone is gone away
I can't stand alone
Here I am
Waiting for You to take me home."

-Lord may I rest in You and You alone. I love You Lord. Keep me close. Bless your Holy Name Christ Jesus. Amen.
