Today was my first day of school for the semester. I woke up this morning with an anxious feeling comparative to the first day of kindergarten. The strange thing was that this was not the first time I am attending this school. I am in nursing school and have been for what seems like years. So today was not my real first day of college but it made me think of all the "firsts" I have had over the past 23 years.
Today made me think about small "firsts" like when I tried sushi or my first real job. I also recalled a few "firsts" that really changed my life, like falling in love and when I first went to college. I thought back to the first time I went to Ethiopia. I was filled with anxiety and so much excitement. My life was changed for the better. The thing about all the for mentioned "firsts" are that they can be repeated. I could go to college and eat sushi again and luckily I am going to Ethiopia again but there is a first that I will never repeat.
The Bible tells us, in Matthew 6, that once we have a relationship with Jesus Christ that nothing can snatch us from His hand. I can remember the first time I met Jesus, the first time He saved me from my sins and when our relationship began. Even though my walk with Jesus is not perfect and it is something I am pursuing daily there is no need to have that "first" again. I can not be re-saved. I can, however, continue to fall more and more in love with Jesus but there will never be that "first" again.
