worry wart

I made the dutch oven bread. The bottom was so hard I had to just cut it off, but the rest is delicious! I will definitely be making that again. Maybe there is something I can do to make the bottom a little softer...hopefully :)  I also FINALLY painted the armoire! I bought a paint sprayer and it was a breeze! Here is a before and after.



There are so many changes that will be happening in my life in the next 2 weeks. Josh is moving dow the road, I am getting a new roommate named Saige and losing my roommate Claire, Josh will be a year older (23! Old man!), and I am going to graduate undergrad and start Harrison School of Pharmacy. It is all a little strange. It is all scary but exciting at the same time. I like change, I really do, but when it is actually time to change I get a little stressed. By far the most stressful to me is starting pharmacy school. While I am extremely thankful that I got in and I am so ready to start, I am worried. I did not have the easiest time getting through my difficult undergrad classes. Then I see people who breezed through the classes I thought were so hard, and theyre struggling through pharmacy school. This makes me believe I have no hope.Then i read something that said worry and fear is essentially doubting God. Wow. How stinkin true is that?! When I worry that I will fail out of pharmacy school I am doubting that God is with me and will give me the tools that I need to do well. When I think about other people's performance I am taking credit away from the fact that God already got me into a very competitive program. People I know would LOVE to take my place in a heartbeat and I am worrying. God got me in and He WILL not fail me once I get there. No matter what the devil tries to make me believe, God is powerful and He is bigger than any test I will ever take. He got me here and he will bless me in this time in my life. I pray everyday that I can find peace in that knowledge. I cannot let worry be an issue. I refuse to be a worry wart.

I had house paint and a paint sprayer. It was a little bit messy but MUCH easier on the fingers than cans and cans of spray paint.
