First day of law school!

So, I'll be honest out front, I've never written a blog before, and I really don't know quite what to write. So, here it goes...

Today, I started my first day of law school. So far I've had two weeks of Academic Success Program and one full week of orientation, so I felt very oriented, at least up until this morning. I felt pretty anxious about what the day might hold: meeting all my professors, meeting and finding friends, and walking into the wonderful world of the law school classroom. Everything turned out to be just fine and not quite as scary as I had expected. My professors seem tough, but they have great expectations for us. They really show concern and care for their students. The community at Regent is amazing, even for only having been apart of it for 3 weeks now, I really love it. The students really love the Lord, and everyone I have met so far really has a passion for serving people and for the Lord. I'm so thankful that God led me to Regent. Since the first day of orientation, the professors keep reminding us that "we can do all things through Christ, who gives us strength!" (Philippians 4:13). This is a very encouraging thing, not just to hear scripture in class, but to hear it from your professor. At the beginning of each class, the professor is required to do a devotion or pray. Today's devotions were so comforting. Through the course of 4 devotions, the Lord reminded me (again through my Professors!) that He is my comfort and my strength, and that He will empower me to do the task that He has brought me here for. This was so great for me, because satan has really tried to discourage me and make me doubt God's call on my life in the law.
