Campus Ministry Reflections
Here we are in another season of change, the nights are getting cooler, the leaves are popping with different colors and leaves are falling.  For some, this may be a beautiful time where we see the things around us change and for others, this change may be difficult.  Similar to the seasons, our lives change in various ways.  In college we grow as individuals through our classes, the clubs we join, the experiences we have, and the challenges we face.  Unfortunately, it is not always comfortable to change.  For some of us, we just want to skip the hard part and get to the happy times.  What I have learned time and time again is that we must experience the challenges in order to get to where we want to be.  We must grow through what we go through.  I know we all have experienced change during these past months and it can be very easy to get frustrated with the circumstances we are in.  Some things get canceled or don’t go the way we wanted them to.  The anxiety and stress that is ongoing can be exhausting.  One thing I know is that we are all growing.  Everything we are experiencing is going to make us stronger.  God does not give us what we can handle, he helps us handle what we are given.  I encourage you all to cling to your faith and remember that what you are going through now will make you stronger.  It may take days, months, or years to see the growth, but promise it will all be worth it.  Matthew 6:34 says, “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.  Each day has enough trouble of its own.”  Be where you are and make the most of each moment.  -- Claire
