Let's be honest, I was terrified coming to college.
"Was I going to make friends? Lifelong friends? Was I going to fail all my classes? Will I become lukewarm in my faith?"
I was frantically worrying.
BUT, through prayer God has blessed me abundantly.
Here's a quicklist of amazing things God has done in my life so far in college.
1) He has blessed me with a great hall! 4th EASTLOVE. I am able to just walk into my friend's rooms and get encouragement, pray with them, and love on them. God is good.
2) I struggled with my Biology class at first, but as of right now I have a B! There were times of sitting on the steps of Pittman just crying my eyes out because I felt I couldn't do it anymore, BUT the Lord said, "NO daughter of mine will fail." And now I'm getting it! God is good.
3) I am blessed with amazing sisters all around me. I am in a sorority called AOII (Alpha Omicron Pi) and loving it. I wasn't sure at first, but God said, "Daughter, this is where I want you. Be a light and spread My Love to your new sisters." And I am ecstatic that He has placed me here. Sisters in AOII and Sisters in Christ! God is good.
4) I am blessed with a really wonderful friend named, Christina Lynn Rickman. She is my Big Sister in AOII. She is such a blessing in my life! God knew what He was doing when He put us together. I love her and hope we are friends for a lifetime. God is good.
5) My family is so precious to me. I have cried three times so far being away from home. I love my mom and dad and brother so much. They are precious blessings in my life. My mom is so wise. What a role model she is for me in my life. She has gotten me through so much in college like reminding me that God is going to use me in so many ways this year, to be a light for people, to read my Bible daily, to pray constantly, to be open to change, to love on others unconditionally, and she has also gotten me a great Biology tutor, reminded me that God speak to us through His Word, and I just LOVE my mom so much! God is good!
6) I am blessed by my new friend, Kaitlyn Teem. I am so happy to be able to call her my Sister (AOII). She has really been there for me even into the late hours of the night when I just need someone to talk to. She is there. We both tell eachother what's going on in our lives and we pray for eachother. She even prayed over me one time when I had an awful day. I think that is love right there, to place your physical hands on someone and pray wholeheartedly over them. That is love. She has brought so much JOY into my life this year. God is good.
7) I am blessed by my new friend, Lindsey Kelley. What an adorable girl! She is absolutely precious! She is also my new sister in AOII. We love to have long room talks. We go into eachother's rooms and just talk and talk and talk. We also go to get ice cream and run a few red lights..oops! YAY! She is so amazing! Love her! God is good.
8) Okay, Let's just say there are so many wonderful people in my life. Here are a few more: Rebekah Grubbs, Jordan Webb, Nicole Smith, Kristen Minor, Rachel Stokes, Amy Vu, Kelly Geasley, Taylor Pigman, Halley Smith, Jane E, Lauren Windsor, and more. Sorry if I missed you, YOU ARE STILL LOVED! God is good.
9) Also, my friends back home! Lindsay Joy Jones. Ariel Nicole Samuels. Paige Little Sister Hartsfield. Yall get me through life. I love you precious girls. God is good.
10) God has taught me so much. Honestly, I haven't learned this much in a long time. I have learned that JOY is always attainable, Prayer is Powerful, God speaks through His Word, Friendship is a two-way street, You can't keep giving of yourself or else you will burn out, and Earthly love no way compares to the Lord's LOVE. God is good.
God bless all of these people and Praise God for the things He has taught me so far!
God is good!
