"Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves." Romans 12:10
When i got to Winthrop, i knew that i wanted to get involved with a ministry on campus, but i didn't know which one. it was kinda overwhelming, actually, because there are so many options. So i signed up for lots of them, but one tried harder than the rest to get me involved. a girl from CRU called me and actually invited me to hang out with her so she could tell me more about it. i was kinda shocked about that, but was way excited. so i met up with her and another girl and they both really got to know me like they sincerely cared. i could see the love of Christ shining out of them! it was great! it was one of the most amazing nights ever! then they invited me to a dinner that CRU was having tonight and everyone was super nice. one of the girls and a lady that works for CRU made sure that another freshman and i felt welcome all night. seriously, we NEVER had to sit there in ackward silence!! Afterwards, this girl was going to my residence hall to talk to someone at the front desk, but she was so far behind me. i heard her call my name and tell me to wait because she wanted to walk with me. WHAT?!?! i know that seems really minor, but dinner was over and she didn't have to talk to me, a little ol' freshman, but she did. and she didn't just talk to me because i was right next to her or anything, but she ran across a field to talk to me. i still can't believe how much of Christ's love i saw from them! it was like nothing i've never experienced before. these may seem like such small things, but they meant the world to me. i left last night and tonight thinking that i wanted to be just like them. it's amazing how God has provided role-models for me on campus and it hasn't even been a week since i moved in!!
glory be to God!!! :)
