Since March 1st, when acceptance letters have been coming out, I've been checking online and hoping to get an acceptance. I've been waking up and going to sleep thinking of acceptance letters. I hope so badly to get accepted in the college I want, but this hope of mine is not secure. I'm afraid to hope too much because I might be let down. All this hoping in colleges has caused me to think about my hope in Christ. We as Christians are "born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away". Even though I may hope to get into certain colleges, there's a chance that I will be dissapointed. But I need not fear dissapointment, or being let down when I hope in Christ.

To God, me learning humility is more important than what college I go to (or don't go to). So Lord, would you help me to see things from an eternal perspective.

"Set your mind on things above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory." Colossians 3:2-4
