Endings and New Beginnings

Life has been hectic the past few days to say the least. Monday night me and my mom got into another fight. We used to be really close but the past year and a half or so has been real tense. Finally she kicked me out and so that is that. I'm kind of sad, but I don't feel as if it's the end of my world. In fact, this is just the beginning of my adult life. For a while I felt as if it was time to move on, but that insecurity that every single one of use has kept me from doing it. I didn't feel ready. Right now I'm living in my neighbors house, and they're some of the nicest, funniest people I've met. I'm still struggling, but deep down I know what God is doing. I guess he knows I'm strong enough (even if I don't feel the same way). I don't want people to feel bad for me either because I know it'll all work out for the good (again, even if it doesn't feel that way right now), and that in the end mine and my mom's relationship will be built back up again. Today in my devotions I was having a rough time and I didn't even feel like getting out of bed, however the verses were on faith, and both of them stood out to me (I'm reading  Jesus Calling), but the one that really hit hard was Luke 12:22-31.  
22 Then, turning to his disciples, Jesus said, "That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food to eat or enough clothes to wear.23 For life is more than food, and your body more than clothing.24 Look at the ravens. They don't plant or harvest or store food in barns, for God feeds them. And you are far more valuable to him than any birds!25 Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?26 And if worry can't accomplish a little thing like that, what's the use of worrying over bigger things?
  27 "Look at the lilies and how they grow. They don't work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are.28 And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?
  29 "And don't be concerned about what to eat and what to drink. Don't worry about such things.30 These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers all over the world, but your Father already knows your needs.31 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and he will give you everything you need.
  32 "So don't be afraid, little flock. For it gives your Father great happiness to give you the Kingdom.
  33 "Sell your possessions and give to those in need. This will store up treasure for you in heaven! And the purses of heaven never get old or develop holes. Your treasure will be safe; no thief can steal it and no moth can destroy it.34 Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.

I feel much better tonight and so can't wait for things to get better. :)

Another new beginning, is the fact that I officially got accepted into the college I've been wanting to attend full-time next year. I already have 18 credits from there that I took during highschool, and I can't wait to attend as a freshman!
