You bring such a calm to the chaos in me

God=amazing...in case you forgot, i know i did for a few days....

Hey everyone! It was good to go home this past weekend. My grandpa's memorial service was beautiful. It was really nice. And the fact that all/most of my family was together was another good thing. I got to spend time with them and it was good. I didn't end up leaving from Orlando until 8:30 ish so I didn't get back here until 1:30. Good times. And the next morning getting up at 8 was loads of fun too. HA! But I have an amazing story to tell of how God is SO freaking amazing. I went home and I was thinking about it and the one thing I was having a problem with was meeting Christian people. I seriously hadn't met any. On Saturday, a senior from the Baptist Church here in Tallahassee called and said she could give me rides to church on Sundays. I was so excited. I couldn't go this past Sunday because of obvious reasons, but still I have someone to go with! There's more to this amazing-ness. I met this girl in my English class and the only thing that I really knew about her was that she played volleyball. So immediately we had a connection. Then I went home and talked with different people about how college had been going and stuff. I was telling Fayez about my roommate and some other random people I had been meeting and how they drink every night and I hadn't met any Christian people. Then I went home and prayed and stuff and then that night I came home and I saw that this girl from my English class emailed me saying how excited she was that I was a Christian (she saw on my facebook) and she was saying she was having the same problem not finding anyone who doesn't go out and drink and stuff. I almost screamed I was so excited. Then I got back here and we were talking about where we're living in the fall and we're both living in the same building!!!!! We're not roommates but we're in the same dorm!!! Crazy huh? Prayer is so powerful and I'm so thankful and I can rest assured that God will take care of me no matter where I am, here or at home. I was hanging out with her last night and being around her felt like home, we did stuff that I'm used to doing...we went and got ice cream and watched a movie. We played volleyball for like 2 hours yesterday and we're going again. God is so amazing. Just thought I'd share that with you because it made me so excited and I'm relieved to have someone to share my walk with Christ. Things are great. I miss home still, but I have the assurance of someone here who has a little bit of my close friends in her. :)
