Semester One of my freshman year is coming to an end. What a blast. So many fun times. So many happy times. So many frustrating times. So many scary times. So many disappointing times. So many humbling times. So many times with the Lord. So many times with friends. So many times with teachers. So many times with my pillow haha. What a great past four months. When I thought of going to college a few months ago, I was scared to death. I was going to a place where I knew nobody. A place where I would basically have to start over. No friends, No parents, No siblings, No family. It was me and my Lord. In the same breath though I knew it was my time to grow. The Lord wanted me at Liberty University for a purpose. I didn’t know what it was a few months ago, but I’m certain I know now. He wanted me to grow in Him. I’m not talking in just one area or a couple. I mean in multiple areas. I needed to grow into the man the Lord wants me to be. Yes it was prolly the scariest thing I have ever done in my life, but the Lord has blessed me abundantly for stepping out and trusting Him to take care of me. All these years of talking about my life verse, (Proverbs 3:5,6) it was time for me to walk the walk. I knew if I trust my savior, he would direct my path! We have an amazing, AWESOME, gracious, loving, and caring God! With him everything is possible! I can’t even imagine life without Him here with me. He fills every gap, teaches me everyday, and loves me more then I can even comprehend. I have found true worship here the first four months of college. It is something that I had never have known before this point in my life. I went to church and loved learning about the Lord, but never had the true, God Present worship. It is an amazing experience to feel the God who created everything around us, who is bigger and more powerful then we can imagine, standing right next to you. Whispering in your ear I love you so much Zack and I want the best for you. I am always here for you and you can totally rely on me. True worship is not singing to God because He needs it from us. True worship is when we sing to the Lord because we need it! We need our Lord! He is so caring, so BIG, but so loving.

I love you Lord! Thank you for growing me in you the past 4 months! Keep me focused oh my God! You are amazingly wonderful! Over the next 6 weeks, Lord, don’t let me falter. Don’t let me fall away. I want to be near you Jesus! Fill me with your presence. I trust you completely!

Thanks for reading y’all! Until next time….God Bless! Love,
