This is pretty simple..... I'm an 18 year old boy who is off in college. I figured it was time that a college Christian wrote down some of what he was going through for the benefit of others. I just pray that God can use some of what I'm saying to help someone in need.... Being a Christian is tough, college is tough, life is tough, but they are always fun. If you have any thoughts or ideas feel free to let me know, but let's try to keep it uplifting....

In Awe of God

It’s 2 in the morning and I have an 8 o clock class tomorrow yet here I am typing on my computer because of one thing. I’m in awe of God. Kind of a weird time I know… theres no sunset or sunrise theres no beautiful sky and birds singing but yet for once everything in my life is still and peace and I have a moment to enjoy it. While sitting here I realized something I’m in a new place in a tough situation and I’ve been trying to make the best of it, but God has given me all the tools necessary to thrive in this environment. Just to start I don’t know many people here but the ones that I do know are willing to help me with nearly anything I need which is incredible how they are all so selfless so often… Maybe I can learn from that. God has also given me the gifts within myself to do this because God wouldn’t give me a test I couldn’t pass because He doesn’t set people up for failure. He also continues to reveal in me new strengths I never knew I possessed like the ability to listen instead of speaking. Sounds kinda simple but a lot of times before I would be so anxious to get to my next point I wouldn’t listen to what the other person was saying. Yet now I can honestly say I know what’s going on in my friends lives and I had lost sight of that for a while. The thing with going to college is you see things so don’t like but that’s bound to happen anywhere in the world. It is a lot better and a lot healthier to instead thank God for all that which he has given us that is good and try to fix or improve things that we don’t like. If the world was perfect then walking the Christian life would be easy. And it’s not….. It goes back to my old quote: life aint always easy but man is it fun. That’s the way to look at it and approach it, I just lost sight of it for a while.
