I'm scared.

Everybody is afraid of something. There is always that one thing that grips us, makes us become children again and go hide in Mom and Dad's closet. For me, it's my future.

I don't know about you, but I have NO idea what I'm doing with my life.
 How am I going to make money? Because writers sure don't get paid super well.
What exactly is it I'm wanting to go into in journalism?
Do I really want to even be a journalist?
Should I quit college and just work some random job full time?

These seem like silly questions, but I've been balancing the choices in my head daily. I can't seem to figure out what God's got planned for me. I'm about to spend a semester in Washington, D.C. and I have never been so scared to do anything in my life.

BUT.

I know God's got this. And even though I'm nervous, I know He has a plan and He's going to carry me through. Thank God for that kind of promise. Literally.

"'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future,'" Jeremiah 29:11
