By, Carrington B. Through my experience as a senior through such an unprecedented year, the main thing that God has shown me is to only trust in Him. When there were so many cancelled events in such a short amount of time, I realized that we absolutely could not rely on what could possibly happen in the future. Instead, the only thing that we could truly stand on is that God’s ways are better than ours. Throughout my time in high school, I always stood on the verse Jeremiah 29:11, to trust that God has good plans for us despite what our current circumstances may look like. As I make the transition to college, I hold onto the same values. The truth is, there is nothing that we can do on our own strength that will determine our future. I’ve found that the only way we will truly have peace is if we fully submit to the Lords will for our lives. He is working things out in a way better than we can ever imagine, Romans 8:28. If anyone is struggling with being anxious for the future or even with their next season, post Covid, I want to challenge you with this…take out your journal or piece of paper and write down those areas that you are unsure about. After you write down those areas, rip them up. Yes, I said rip them up. This is a prophetic act stating that despite your anxieties about what’s to come, above all else, you have faith that the Lord is making a way for all your hearts desires and more!

What a great story, beloved, Carrington. You are so right that we can see our future and only God can. Thank you for the task of writing down our concerns and ripping it up. I love that! They won't matter because there's nothing we can do except pray. I'm so so proud of you and all that you've accomplished. Your boldness is a gift and the Lord will use it to change the world. I have total faith in you. It's been such an honor to walk alongside you in your high school journey. Love you, Auntie April xx

So very blessed and thankful that you trust and know the Lord early on in your precious life. That was always my regret, that I didn’t know Him when I was younger and I could have avoided the stupid choices I made that gave me so much regret and heartache.
