College

Hey!

Well, this has been an interesting first week and a half. The first bit was a little hard, but God is faithful. He has pulled me through, and I'm learning to lean on Him in everything. It's just not an easy thing to do when your surrounded by people who mostly don't care if there's even a God or not. However, I have met some great Christian girls, and I'm looking forward to getting to know them better. I'm also growing stronger relationships with Cynthia (my roommate), Ali, and Abby(my suitemates). It's interesting to see four different girls living in such a small space. But I think before the year's out, we will have become like sisters. At least, that's what I hope. And with God's help, I think that could be a good possiblilty.

I went to the campus church today. That was an interesting experience, but a good one I think. It was nice to worship God with fellow believers. One young woman told me that my major was the right choice, and that I would have the opportunity to teach Sunday School at one of the local churches here. I was excited to hear this, and I believe she was truly speaking on God's behalf. It greatly encouraged me, especially since I've been doubting whether education was the right choice for me. I thought God was calling me to it, but my doubts were starting to creep up on me. And she told me all this without knowing anything about me, which I have only experienced once before, at this very school to be exact. I was visiting someone here, and I accompinied her to a prayer meeting in which a lot of the people there were prophecying. I think prophecy has a time and place, and I think today was the right time and place. I still have my doubts about what seems like over-excessive prophecy, but I am continue to search, and God will reveal His truth to me eventually. All in all, it was a good experience, and I know there are actual students on this campus searching God with all their hearts.

Well, I finished my first essay today, and I think it's pretty good. I may work on it a little more, but tonight there's not much more I can do. Please pray for my roommate and for myself. We're complete opposites, but I think we're growing closer. It's gonna take some work, but with God's help anything is possible. I also ask ya'll to pray for me as I grow spiritually. I'm already being confronted with a lot of different stuff, and it's only been the first week. But God is faithful. He will protect me.

Peace to you all,
