God IS in control!!! :)

the number one thing i was worried about starting college: meeting true friends that are believers.

everyone i met that i thought i might be friends with start cussing like crazy and i get disappointed thinking that i'll never meet good friends. so i would pray asking that God would give me those great, Godly friendships. i've had to tell myself several times that God is in control and He has a plan for me. that truth has comforted me beyond belief. i just need to keep my head up and watch Him provide...and He did!!!

so i was in my ACAD class on saturday morning and we were playing a game. we had skittles and we had to choose a couple colors and answer a question that went along with the specific color. purple was "name something unique about you." now most of y'all know that i am not always very bold in big groups of people that i don't know, but i could feel God telling me to let these people know who i REALLY am, so i raised my hand and said something along the lines of "something unique about me is that i love Jesus. i'm kinda obsessed!" my instructor laughed a friendly laugh and we moved on, but little did i know that i got someone's attention.

today i was eating lunch with my roommate and we were almost done and probably about to head back to our room when this girl walked up and said she noticed me from our ACAD class and asked if she could eat with us. Later, she told me that the second i said that in front of the whole class, she was like "i've gotta meet this girl!" It turns out that she is a believer too!!! (pause. isn't it amazing how it "just so happened" that she saw me in the caf with extra seats at my table?!!)  after my roommate left to do something, another girl walked up and asked if she could sit with us. it turns out that she is also a believer!! so we sit there for another 30-45 minutes talking about what we believe and telling each other the stories of how we got saved. it was amazing!!!

i give all the glory to God. He always provides and will never fail me!!! :)

so why do i still have doubts sometimes? solution: TRUST IN HIM. just FALL on Him. and know that He will take care of you and me.

"'For I KNOW the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to give you HOPE and a future. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I WILL LISTEN TO YOU. You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart. I will be found by you,' declares the Lord"
~Jeremiah 29:11-14a
