Deep in the Heart of Aggieland

In 3 days, I will have been here in College Station for 5 weeks. 5 weeks gone, already. Looking back it truly seems like Sunday my parents dropped me off, hauling luggage up 4 flights of stairs (in a knee brace I might add!) But in all seriousness, 5 weeks have come and gone, and I believe that in my life these weeks have been so important. Much to contradictory belief, I have become even more involved in a church family. Sure I may not know everyone, but that isn;t holding me back from serving the Lord. My first weekend here, I went on a weekend trip to Texas City. I cannot even explain to you the blessings I reaped from that trip. I'm ready to jump at the bit for any type of involvement in AFC. I have made good friends...already, as well as strengthening previous relationships. My best friend, Lucie, and I are roommates. Not once have we fought. Not once! Instead, our relationship is growing and we are helping encourage one another. I say all of this to prove that college is what YOU make of it. It's not some stereotypical experience, no, it's your OWN! Make of it what you want to see of it. My goal in life is to serve the Lord, sharing his compassion and his love. College has already offered me so many opportunities to do just that. Through weekend trips, my future aspirations in the medical field with my major, and a possible Christmas trip to Nicaragua, A&M is helping me build my faith. In 5 short weeks, I have learned a lot. I've bombed a calculus test, moved into Evans (the library on campus), discovered that I have a weakness for a Frozen Explosion from Starbucks, but most importantly I have established who I am in my walk with Christ. I never want to forget this point in my life, this confidence I have that the Lord will always have plans for me. My life, my college experience, is in the palm of his hand. Quite frankly, I know for certain that A&M is right where he wants me to be.
