What I'm Thinking

So I'm sitting here in my dorm wondering exactly what brought me to this college? Like every person in my family has walked on the sidewalks here. Why did I want to follow them? Why did i come here? At first I wanted to be totally away from what every other person did in my family. I wanted to get away from the normal thing in my family. Maybe it was a security blanket, but it couldn't be that if I wanted security I would have gone to JBU. I had friends there, a lot of them. I knew NO ONE HERE!!!!

I may not know exactly why I ended up here, but I'm happy that I have. I can NOT imagine myself any where else in the world. I don't know what's going on in my future, but there is one that does, God.

Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

I don't know what He has planned for me, but it can't be terrible. He will not allow anyone to go through something that they can not handle. All I ask from Him is to be by my side in every step that I take while I'm a student here. Help me through relationships with others.

This college, it's all I can ask for. The friends I have made so far, they are incredible. I love them already. God has been truly good to me. At first I hated it here. I had no friends, and I did not know what to do with my time. I was totally alone, and that's something I'm not good at. But I'm happy that i stuck through it. God has shown me so many things about myself that I never knew. He has provided for me in so many ways that I can't even begin to describe.
