As I am sitting here in my dorm room watching my roommate pack, I really am getting sad. My life has changed so much over the past 9 months. First of all, I have gained a whole new family! These people I have been with for 9 months are closer to me than any friend I had in high school. I have laughed with these people, cried with these people, and even fought with these people. They are here when I wake up and when I go to sleep. We have had numerous road trips, a few emergency room visits, and lots of cookouts! Nine months full of memories I will take with me this summer just to hold me through not seeing them for three months! I can honestly say that every person God has put in my path this year has made a huge impact on my life. I know, I know. I sound like I am leaving forever. I can’t imagine what it is going to be like my senior year!
Now, I begin to examine how I have changed. I have to say I have matured immensely. I have gotten a sneak peak of what it is to live in the real world. I mean I do my own laundry, buy my own groceries, and even go to the doctor by myself. College is a great way to prepare you to live on your own. Spiritually, I have grown probably the most. I am not going to lie this has been such a tough year. With health problems to missing home I have only had one constant thing in my life, my relationship with Christ! God has taught me so many things about trusting him and daily trying to live for him. He has opened so many doors for me to serve Him and I really am forever grateful! Being in a Christian environment for the past 9 months has really convicted me and encouraged me. This truly has been a year for the books J
Well this is my last blog…..and I am not real sure how to end it……so, thanks for reading J
John 17:22-23
I have given the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
