Back to college

Tomorrow I go back to college tomorrow, in a way it feels like starting college for the first time, because I am going to a different school now. It also feels like starting new because I am starting back after taking a year off. After much thought and pray I am in the process of changing majors.  I'll post more about the changing majors when it becomes official.

John 13:35

“All people will know that you are My followers if you love each other.”
John 13:35
Heavenly Father help me to love others as you first loved me. To give unconditional love with expecting anything in return.  To love my enemies and Your enemies as you have called us to do. Help me to show Jesus through me and my actions.
