The first of that lasts....

Its crazy to think about it, that is the last week of classes for my freshman year of college. It has begun though, the first of the lasts (for this year anyways).
Monday was the last President's Chapel.
Today was the last Defending the Faith class.
Thursday is the last New Test. Survey and Building a Biblical Lifestyle class.
Last small group.
Last week with the seniors living in the dorm.

Well you get the picture.
It is just amazing to see where God has brought in thist past year. That a year ago I was on prom court and we were all going to our senior prom, and then graduation with all the parties that entails. Going to Brazil and all the preperation that took. And now to be sitting in my dorm, looking around at the mess of a half packed room that is chaotic and dirty and somehow has to be spotless within a week.

To be thinking that I have been living with a group of guys for the past 2 semesters, and it seems like I have always been at BBC and have always lived with these people because we are that tight.

Then I just have to reflect on where I am now, spiritually. I think back to all the things I have gone through in the past year, in the past 5, my whole life and I know that God has a purpose for my life. Because without all the things that have happened to me and I have experienced, I would not be the person I am today, doing the things I am doing today. God has used every situation in my life for either the positive or negative. There is no middle ground, God has a plan for it all.

I see that in my job at Nichols Village with the people I come into contact with there. That God has placed me there for a reason ,and I love the people that I work with. More than just on a co-worker level. I am actually involved and apart of these people's lvies and that is extraordinary. I look at my position as an RA for my next years in this dorm. And I can only imagine what God will teach me through that - - after knowing how my RA's have impacted my life.

I guess what I am saying is that it has been amazing to search for God. Not in a salvation context, because I know the Lord God Almighty, I have a personal relationship with Him as He is my Savior, my Rock. But searching God out in my day to day life, searching for what He is trying to do in my life and listening for His will.

Its been great to find Him and know that He is there and know that He is intimatley involved in my life. There is no greater thing but to search for God and find ways to glorify Him in everything you do. This is my journey.
