SCRIPTURE: “I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.” Psalm 91:2 So far, this year has been very strange, dealing with my brother not being around and the sudden increase in the difficulty of my classes.

SCRIPTURE: “rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer;” Romans 12:12 Over my time at college finishing my 3rd year, God has taught me a lot about patience.
