A post of firsts!

Well, just two more weeks until I am back in the great state of Texas! But I do have to say that this past weekend was rather eventful, and a filled with a few firsts of which one I was not grateful for, haha.

This past weekend was homecoming for MTSU and Sam and Jordan came down to the ‘boro to go to my very first football game against Louisiana Monroe, and we won! But it was a really cool experience, so much school spirit and youth and hype! Plus I liked my little pom pom to cheer on the players. (Imagine if so many more people had that spirit and energy for the Lord, and we all walked around with pom poms cheering others on in their walk with Christ)….well, the parking lot for the game on campus was of course full and right across the street was the apartments that a couple of my friends lived at and I had parked in the visitors before many times for our monday night bible study and thought I could park in that parking lot again for the game. Well apparently I parked on the side that wasn’t for visitors and when we came back ready to get into my car and out of the wind and cold, lo and behold my car was gone!! It was the weirdest feeling, I was of course OH NO, OH MY GOSH, but I wasn’t completely freaking out or crying my eyes, because somehow I knew it was probably towed in a pound somewhere and God would take care of it. Summer and Bailey were home so we were able to sit in their warm apt. and find out where my car was, and they gladly drove us to the towing place. The only bummer was the fact that it cost quite a bit amount to get it back for such a poor, unemployed college student

But I was surrounded by good company and we were all safe and was reunited once again with my car, something I am very grateful for!

Later on that night I enjoyed a very comforting cup of caramel apple cider and such a wonderful conversation with my new friend at Starbucks. It is so good to sit and talk with someone that shares the love for the Lord as well, and has such a passion for people and sharing the gospel with people, I mean people walking on the street, in the town square, in the mall, wherever! It was so nice to have that, so she invited me to come out to the square after starbucks with her and another friend to just share the Word with people that walked around, and that was another first! Honestly, just going to the town square trying to start up conversation and talk about God. Some people ignored us, and some people actually stopped to listen and talk about ‘religion’ and God.

I have always known this and continue to know this but that is where I realized again how important it is to read the Word everyday, to memorize scripture, to live by it to not only be able to have truth and back up when talking to people but just for myself, to constantly refer back to what God-breathed and my walk. God is living and the Word is living and that is so great to know.

So, what comes with firsts, the first day of chilly weather, encounters; comes opportunity, challenges and times we can glorify God. It is good to surround yourself with people you don’t know as well to form friendships…but I am so very thankful and excited to be going home in a couple of weeks for Thanksgiving!

Break out the turkey and seasons greetings!

I honestly can’t believe I’ll be going home in 3 weeks for Thanksgiving Break! Seriously, since I’ve moved here I have been waiting for the end of the year to come and the holidays to be here, so I am pretty excited! But of course with the end of the year comes tests and finals. Though I am just kind of thankful that I didn’t have any papers or projects this semester, yaay for only tests! Haha.

But really thinking about, the end of th eyear will be here before we know it…

This was definitely the shortest post I’ve made!
