The Lord spoils me with His love.

Welp. Today marks 2 weeks that I've been living in Dallas. One week full of camp-like activities and this one filled with first classes, new Professors, new spiritual revelations, and both full of new friends. I can't tell you how blessed I am to be here at DBU. The Lord is EVERYWHERE here. His hand is all over this campus. Professors who pray for me BY NAME and ask me for prayer requests at the beginning of class? You've got to be kidding, right? Nope. It's a reality here at good 'ole DBU. And I LOVE it.
A couple of days ago I got an e-mail from a Professor in the Education department. She told me how at the beginning of the summer she picked a bracelet with my name on it from a pile of all the incoming freshmen's names and has been wearing it on her wrist and praying for me every day since then. Talk about humbling! Seriously. The Lord has definitely gone before me here. He's proven His faithfulness to me over and over again and I already feel as if I've grown and matured in my relationship with Him in just 2 short weeks. He is blowing my mind with the things I'm being challenged with.
Please continue to pray that the Lord would lead me to my new church home quickly and for an upper classmen mentor for me. I've got so many stories I want to share that I just can't pick - so I'm sure I'll be blogging again soon. Until then....
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge HIm, and He will make straight your paths." ~Proverbs 3:5-6

I move to Dallas tomorrow! All of my stuff is in various boxes- ready to make the transition to college life at Dallas Baptist University. This next year won't be easy, but I'm ready for the new challenges that will come my way. I'm SO thankful for this time in my life. Time to grow academically, yes, but more importantly time to grow spiritually. I'm so privileged to able to bask in this season of life and enjoy becoming who God's called me to be. I couldn't be more excited! I'm ready to see what the Lord has for me at DBU - whatever it may be. But most importantly, I'm ready to see more of HIM.

Do me a favor? Pray that I would find an upperclassmen girl at DBU who can mentor/disciple me. One of my greatest desires for this year is to find someone to keep me accountable, ask me tough questions, and guide me in my walk with the Lord. Discipleship is such a blessing, and I pray that God leads me to just the right woman for the job.

Look for more updates on college life soon!
