What have I learned thus far?
Well, it sure is a challenge to live with 6 other girls, especially since 2 of them are non-believers. I'm having the hardest time with them, as much as I like them. God is really teaching me to be patient with them. It's very easy to get frustrated with the decisions they make and what they talk about but I just need to pray for them.
Another thing, I'm realizing I am SOO glad to be single right now. It's nice to be free and not accountable for anyone else. Many of you know my story with Andrew. Well, the two roommates who are non-believers are both in serious relationships and constantly talk to their boyfriends. I see my old self in them a lot and it makes me hurt, knowing what they're going through and also makes me glad that I'm not like that anymore. It's a weird feeling.
After talking with my two sleepmates Anna and Katelyn a lot about future husbands and the like, we just keep going back to how we need to trust in God and He knows best for us so we don't need to worry about our looks. This is another lesson: becoming more humble. We talked about how we all can have poor self images and that constant need to be accepted and desired by others. Well, God has been trying to shove it in my face that there is so much more than that and He is the only one who matters, so don't worry about what other people think.
I know so far I've learned a lot and I'm still in the process of learning those thing (and I also realize I'm sure a lot of my posts don't make much sense, I just write what's on my mind and it doesn't always come out in a coherent way, so sorry!) but my goals for the end of this semester is to be more at peace with myself and have this calm, gently serenity about myself, among other goals. So look out everyone!
I'm loving Jesus right now (as I do every day...) and man, life is just so good. Just keep praying for me and especially pray that God gives me a big helping of Patience Pie because it's getting a little rough in this house hold....
