New Beginnings

As many of you know that at the end of last semester I moved into a different room. I changed roommates, went to a different hall and had to leave my RA and friends I had made in that hall. Things were not going well in my old room. I was constantly stressed and I was not getting along with my roommates. A friend of mine brought it to my attention that I had not been my happy self since school had started. That is when I realized that the roommate situation was affecting me in every aspect of my life.I started to pray and ask God for direction in whether I should stay or not. After many prayers (from family and friends) and lots of advice I decided to go for it. I was only going to move out if it was in the same building I was currently living in. Well, around thanksgiving break I found a new room. I was so happy!! Immediately I was renewed with the joy I once had and stress had been lifted off my shoulders. After I found someone to move in with, then the paper work began and getting it approved. I found out I was able to move out and that I needed to move into my new room during finals week. That was a rough week, but with God's strength and my mother's help (along with many friends) I made it through finals week and moved into my new room.

It was very nerve-racking at first. I didn't know my new roommate all to well, I didn't know people in my hall or my RA. But I knew that this is where I needed to be. Now a few days into the new semester and settling in, I am starting to feel more comfortable and at place in my new room. It's the beginning of a new year, with new classes, new friends, new room and a new roommate. I am now feeling the joy and peace of Christ through all this NEW that He has put into my life.

How Great is Our God

Last night my house church got together for fellowship and we watched a sermon about how great our God is.At the end after talking about how BIG our universe is he talked about the protein cell Laminin. Laminin is a protein cell that holds our entire body together. Without this protein cell we would not be who we are. But the most amazing thing about this protein cell is that it is in the shape of a cross. How amazing is that, that the cell that holds us together is in the shape of a cross. Just like the cross that Christ died on holds us together. Without the cross we would not have life, same as this protein cell. Hearing about this put it all back into perspective. We serve a BIG and MIGHTY God. Without Him my life would fall apart.

Goodbye 2009, Hello 2010

I thought that it would be fun to start a blog so all my friends and family can keep up with me and know what is going on in my life. I know Facebook can do this but I thought that this would be way more fun!! I can't believe that 2010 has already begun. I will always remember 2009, with events like senior trip, graduating high school, Breakfast at Rebekah's (when it was pouring on the day of my open house and we had to be outside), starting college and making new friends. It was a great year, to be honest I was sad to see it over but I know God has so much in store for me and for all of us this coming year. I am excited to see what God is going to do in my life. 2010 hear I come.
