college!

at this exact moment in my life, i feel extremely blessed.
i just feel so surrounded by Christ
and he has been providing me with the greatest community.
i recently started going to campus outreach
and that has been such an awesome thing.
i've been meeting so many people who are alive in Christ
and truly living their lives for him.
also, i started a small group a couple weeks ago
and God has put some wonderful girls together
to learn about him and grow with each other.
the book we are reading through really just
meets you where you are and has been so helpful
and uplifting.
this week, we talked about prayer and our "quiet time"
with Jesus; what it looks like and how to improve it.
i am truly learning so much about my heart
and who i am in Christ.
he never ceases to blow my mind.
last weekend, i got a new roommate!
she is one of the most beautiful people i have ever met.
she is energetic, funny, and will always tell you what's on her mind.
i have come to appreciate these types of people.
it is much easier to solve a problem when you know what it is.
this week, i have felt more at ease and more myself
than the past month and a half combined.
i cannot wait to see what God has in store for our friendship!
this is the verse i have been reflecting on for the past week
and gaining encourage from. i hope it speaks to your heart (:

Psalm 37:1-11

Do not fret because of evil men
or be envious of those who do wrong
for like grass they will soon wither,
like green plants they will soon die away.

Trust in the Lord and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
Delight yourself in the Lord
and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Commit your way to the Lord
trust in him and he will do this:
He will make your righteousness shine like dawn,
the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.

Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him;
do not fret when men succeed in their wicked ways,
when they carry out their wicked schemes.

Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;
do not fret - it only leads to evil.
For evil men will be cut off,
but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land.

A little while and wicked will be no more;
though you look for them, they will not be found.
But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy great peace.
