God is in control

After being home from Union for a week I've decided that God was totally in control in my choice of college and I am so glad I let Him lead the way. Since being home I've talked to many of my friends who are away at school. We've all entertained each other with stories from our first semester of schooling. I've heard stories from UT, Alabama, Auburn, Belmont, Austin Peay, and Samford. I must say my friends are crazy and I love listening about how they spent their first semesters, but those adventures weren't for me.

I have loved almost every minute spent at Union and wouldn't change it for the world. No, I don't have any crazy party stories or SEC football game tales, but I still have had fun. I believe the atmosphere in which I have been placed in is perfect for me and my personality. At school I have become best friends with some of the most amazing people and am so thankful God has put them in my life. Being surrounded by people with the same aspirations and lifestyles as mine has really helped me see who I am.

My fun stories from first semester involve staying up til 3 am with my roommates talking about our lives and our futures, writing papers with each other about our worldview and what God is doing in our lives and world, and the infamous McDonald's runs. When we aren't engaged in deep conversations or doing homework together we do manage to create our own fun. Shopping carts, dancing to old music, singing obnoxiously, movies (love actually), halo, madden, and of course dutch blitz.

It has been a crazy semester learning about new people, but I feel I've learned even more about myself. I am thankful God brought me to Union and I cannot wait to see what He has in store for my life throughout the next three and half years. It is going to be a crazy ride, but I know He is control and will equip me for whatever comes my way.
