Megan's prayer: Matt Maher's "The End and the Beginning"

This is the end and the beginning

I feel like this line pertains to my life right now. With only 9 days of class left this semester, I'm at the end of my time at SLU taking classes. I turned in 3 final projects today which was a huge stress relief and allowed me to see the end was in sight. I also found out my student teaching placement today, which was also a huge stress relief, and it has allowed me to start actually picturing my future as a student teacher, and then as a teacher.

I was giddy today at the thought of being at the end of my course work here at SLU and at the excitement of knowing my student teaching placement, but as the day went on, the giddiness wore off, and the nervousness returned. I'm scared to leave this routine that I know so well. I'm scared to be out in the classroom, implementing all of the things I was supposed to learn these past 3 years. I'm scared to be at the end, and I'm scared to be at the beginning.

I pray tonight that God's peace will wash over me tonight as I drift off to sleep and that I will wake tomorrow feeling as I did this afternoon - feeling as though I can do anything!
