What a year! I cannot believe my freshman year is over! It honestly doesn't feel like it's been a year already! I can still remember what I felt a year ago before having friends and going to our college minestry! Has is honestly been a year already?
God has been and continue to be soo good to me. I see blessings and favor pour out on me everyday like rain pouring during the monsoon season. I see His love for me from the smallest thing like not having to wait for the bus for too long to the biggest like getting someone who I have never met before prophecy over my life and speak clarity on all the different things I have been praying about! God is just soo amazing! I honestly would not know what my life would be like if I said no to coming to Korea. If I decided not to follow God's call to come here, would I have experienced all this? I know He would have still used me where ever I went, but I think this is still a pretty awesome path He lead me on. :)
I have learned so much during this season. I've experienced way more than I imagined. It's so funny cuz I saw myself wanting to grow and be a certain way by the end of the semester. And oh my did God answer that prayer, not only was I were I wanted to be, my walk with Him reached a level I never thought existed. I went on walks with Him, and felt the sweetness of His love daily. It was pretty awesome!! Everyday a new aspect of His character was shown to me and I enjoyed every second of it.
Before any of this occurred, I was going through a difficult time adjusting to college life. I remember questioning my identity, longing for a community, and figuring out what He called me to do in Korea. Through my freshman year, God answered those prayer requests beyond my imagination. I found my identity in Him in different aspects of my life. As He showed me which role to play in His great master piece, His great love has conformed me to play the part well. At the same time He was molding others to play their part as well. Together we became a family that presented the works of our loving Director. And Before we knew it, it drew people to come and see the production. It was the love between us that attracted them to see what was going on. It was God's love for us that sparked a light in each of our hearts. Little did we know that, that spark was just the beginning of a production He has already written out.
Through this first chapter of my college life, I am learning and experiencing so much! Even though it started of with a rough road, God made my paths smooth later on as I learned to bask in His love (Luke 3:5). With so much that has happened, honestly the only thing I can do is praise Him! Praise Him of all the amazing things He has done in my life, Praise Him for who He is, and Praise Him for what He's done! As I wait to see where He takes me on my next journey, I will pitch a tent and praise Him! As I look forward of what's beyond the horizon, may I hold on to this season and be reminded of it all.
Right now I can't ask God for anything more at this point in time. His love is so amazing, its beyond my comprehension. As I look back at the beginning of college and stand at the end of my freshman year... all my heart longs to do is Praise Him for all He has done. Not a bad way to start off the college years :)
