God has brought me here for a reason, and as my first year of college comes to an end I'm realizing I couldn't have asked for anything more out of this year. I am so truly blessed with the people I have met here and I am amazed at how it just keeps getting better! I love this place with all my heart, it has made such a huge difference in my life that I never thought was possible. This is the kind of life I've always dreamed of, filled with beautiful people who care so much about me and about the Lord. I've realized that the best friendships are those in which God is in the middle. This has been one of the greatest years of my life and it couldn't have gone any better. I never thought these people actually existed, but here they are in my life and I feel like the luckiest girl in the world.
This bittersweet time is coming and I am going to leave my dorm for a good 4 months and be without my best friends. But for some reason I know that the distance will only make our friendships even stronger when we return in September. That will be the best reunion I could ever ask for. So thank you, Lord, for opening this door for me, for dragging my stubborn butt all the way across the country. You have blessed me with an experience of a lifetime and it isn't even over yet. I can truly say I belong, finally, and I am loving life!
