Well I felt like it had been forever since I blogged but alas-it was like a week-whatever.
God has really been emphasizing how faithful He really is to do ALL for good. First, one of my good friends and I decided to be accountability partners and not to be vague-but the way it happened was literally a God send and it could not have gone any other path. Two, after going to TX it really hit me that I really needed a small group of people to do life with-but not university students. Well, some great friends at home that participate in BSF in Mobile. They told me there is a pre-BSF in Jackson where some ladies get together for an hour and have a devotional and pray that this kind of study will happen. So I have been contacting the lady and I go Dec. 4, and come to find out they have been praying for a young woman to join them. So the Lord put the connection together for us at the perfect time so that we would yearn for each other equally, and humbly. I have truly been blown away by the fact by how intricately the Lord will work ALL things out for His children. (Romans 8:28)
I have also been doing the whole '30 days of thankfulness' and it has really helped me see how thankful I am for literally everything in this life. Examples: friends, family, coffee, talents, TV. I often don't take the time to tell God thank you for my flavored coffee beans or for How I Met Your Mother.
Another thing I came to realize. At the start of the semester I had made a statement that I wasn't going to make any effort for new friends, and that I didn't need anymore. Well let me be the first to say that God HAD to have be laughing when I claimed that. I have made a new best friend, and become close to several new people this year. I would have NEVER seen myself with these people, but the Lord knew that we needed each other and put us all together at such a time as this!
Now I am going home for Thanksgiving tomorrow morning and I am incredibly excited to get to see some people I have not seen since May, then my family I saw fall break, but to get to share Thanksgiving together with them ALL shall be interesting. :)
YAY!!! :) soooooo glad you're going to be a part of the prayer group. isn't it amazing how God works things out like that?!?! Can't wait to see you really soon!!!! love you!!!
