So many different things have happened this semester.
I have started and stopped leading a 8th and 9th grade girls small group, It was wonderful while it lasted but quickly i realized that was not where God wanted me.
I have join the Link which is a college ministry.
I have Join the Lead team for the Link, and i have been to many different churches trying to find home. Which by the way, definitely got to go to a black church which i definitely a dream come true and everything i hoped for and more. Jesus was so present, and was so powerful last Sunday when i attended St. James Missionary Baptist Church.
I have met so many wonderful and encouraging people, and people that will be my friends for the rest of my life. I have been through Rush recruitment and found out that this was the wrong season but maybe next year. I have found that friendships are founded on truth, God and your willingness to try. I have found out that while i'd hoped that everyone is and had as great as a first college experience, that is not always a truth. I have grown to have an even deeper love and appreciation for my wonderful creator and have thanked him over and over for protecting my heart. While i can be kind of harsh and blunt, it has protected me from a lot of heartache, yet caused a lot as well. I have also found out that i do indeed have a softer side haha that does cry... imagine that. Everything is not always what it seems, and doesn't go as planned. But all the more reason to not lean on your own understanding and put full faith in God that he is always right! I have learned to learn study habits and make them really solid and that you can not put things off until the night before in college, r at least i can not do it, although i do have friends that can.
All of these things are wonderful and i am so blessed to have learned all of these things, in order to better succeed next semester. I am so excited to come back from break and continue on this journey in college that Jesus has planned so delicately and detailed:)
The greatest lesson of all though, is to depend on the Lord and the Lord alone, you can have wonderful friends, family and even your grades might be great but if you have relationship with him, then you have nothing. Everything happens for a reason and i am so blessed and thankful to be placed in such a wonderful position to minister to others so easily and to get poured into.
God is so great, it just takes my breath away.
