Well if you can't tell I've totally been slacking off... mainly because school started and I've got a sore throat that's kickin' my butt. But anways, I'm going to skip the few days of thankfulness and just report on one thing: school :)
I'm super thankful for school actually. I'm thankful for the ability to pay my way through. I'm thankful for the people here. I'm thankful for God preparing me to come to a public college. I'm thankful for what God's done over the past few years to prepare me for what He has to come.
I went to public high school and one of my biggest regrets after graduation was looking back and seeing that I didn't have my "biblical glasses" on (as Ken Ham calls them ;))... I wasn't on my guard or just excited to share the Gospel, like I should have been.
So I've only sat in on 3 classes and I can already see the difference. God has made me aware; I can see He's teaching me to put on those glasses! It's so cool. Sounds like simple stuff but I'm noticing it makes a world of a difference in reality.
Tuesday I pulled out my Bible and read for awhile. I prayed before I ate. I went out of my way to help a few students. In one class one of the questions on our "Get to know our classmates" paper was, "Who attends church regularly?" I think I was the only one in a class of 25 who could fill my name in the blank. Through all these random things, I could see the eyes turn like, "Did she really just pray in school? She goes to church? Wow... a Bible! And she's reading it?!" It was weird. I don't think I've ever had that kind of attention before. And to be honest, it felt awesome. There was no shame in what I was doing. I was rejoicing :) I went home and prayed for those who had noticed or turned their eyes. I prayed it would just make them think. I prayed for their hearts.
Anyways, I've really enjoyed the past few days. God's been working on me for sure :)
