Growing up already?

So as graduation is slowly but quickly approaching I once again find myself in a whirlwind of anxiety. It does not seem like 4 years have come and gone. The reality of life is staring me in the face and I want to run and hide under the blanket of my youth in my parents house. Is it bad to be this scared of not only graduating, but potentially getting married, finding a career and supporting myself completely?

I know it's exciting and I've been waiting for this time for 21 years, however I am finding out that the world we live in is not so sweet. Its a world with high divorce rates, no jobs avaiable and dissapointment around every corner. Yes I know this sounds terribly depressing and that the entire world isn't as horrible as I may make it out to be, but the truth of this situation is that I have never been so unsure, so scared in my entire life.

The only thing I am left to do is to stop and breathe. Realize that there is something bigger than the economy, bigger than a marriage and thats the only thing that I need to focus on. Jesus' grace surpasses every tiral I may face, every time I may fall, every decision I get wrong. I can only pray that my eyes will be on the One who is worth it all, the One who will hopefully say at the end "well done my good and faithful servent"
