Freshman Reflections From Belmont University

DAY 21 OF 40

Day 21 – Faith

As you begin your collegiate journey, you will soon realize, if you haven’t already, that this next phase of your life is unlike anything you have ever encountered. The rules and expectations for you have completely changed, and, as we all know, change is good but it can also be challenging. So challenging that at times you will feel the exhilaration of this new journey but also feel how overwhelming the journey can be.

In both of those instances it is essential that you have faith, faith in knowing that this is exactly where you are supposed to be. Faith that there is a divine lesson or lessons to be learned and faith that this journey will prepare you for your next phase in life.

I encourage you to let your faith remind you to hold tight to the many blessings that you have and that you are. Your faith will carry you through the many ups and downs that this journey will present to you. But know that faith will also allow you to cast your burdens on Him and have peace even in the middle of a storm. So while we will always hope for the best, we must have faith to carry us through the challenges.

As you navigate your collegiate journey, remember that you are a wonderfully made child of God who has been equipped to be successful and to manage any challenges that might come your way. Always remember to be mindful, prayerful and diligently faithful.
