Crossroads

Tonight my wonderful big brother was so kind to drive me to a weekly worship service for college students (that's me now!!) at a local church. I have heard many wonderful things about this service, Crossroads. To say the least, I was excited to finally witness this 8th wonder. And I have to say, today was definitely a good day for it, I needed to be reminded of His love and BOOM, BANG there it was. Hitting me square in the face. Hard. This is what hit me so hard in my delicate face...

"Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven- for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little."                       Luke 7:47

Holy-moly-me-oh-my! I know you're blown away to but come back for a little bit and be stunned later. The 'she' this passage is referring to is a prostitute. She cleaned the feet of her Savior with her tears and wiped them away with her hair. She sinned immorally yet she has been forgiven. We have all been forgiven. I'm still letting that soak in. I think it's going to take a while.

Exodus 14:14

"Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will work for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall never see again. The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent"

                                                             Exodus 14:13-14

I just love this. It has been my favorite verse for the past few months and I have really tried to take this to heart. If we can be silent and sit with Him, He will guide us where we need to go. We don't always have to say something. Sometimes silence is the best of all. 

Home Away From Home

So maybe some time has passes since I've posted last, so maybe I got a little busy. But I tell you, do not fear for I am back in business! This is such a new and exciting time in my life- going to college and all. No big deal. Big Deal. 

I have been here for three weeks and The University of Tennessee Knoxville and I have loved every single minute of it. Seriously, I could not ask for anything better. I was unsure about coming here, I didn't think it was for me but the Lord changed my heart and now I know this is exactly where I am supposed to be. What a guy He is, so wonderful to me. 

I am undecided in my major but I thinking of going with either nutrition or business. Maybe even both?? All I know is I'm going to have as much fun as possible before I have to buckle down in my studies. I'm just taking the basic cool-kid-college-courses but they aren't terrible so far and I am counting that as a huge blessing!
