I started this blog a while back, but for some reason I haven't posted anything yet. I could blame it on "being too busy" or simply just not knowing what to write. Now that I'm back at Butler, however, I have realized that writing out my thoughts and ideas will help me keep it together as things start to pick up again.
I moved into Alpha Phi a couple weeks ago and I feel like I could not have picked a better fit. Not only have I been able to reconnect with the girls I met last semester, but I have also quickly made even more friendships. These friendships I've made make me feel so blessed each and every day. I am surrounded by girls who love and care for me, and I do the same for them. Every day they give me reasons to smile and laugh, and they help me forget any worries I may have. They are all great examples of girls who love themselves for who they are, and I am learning from them each day.
As I move forward with classes and writing for The Butler Collegian, I know things are going to get harder. I read an excerpt from "Jesus is Calling" and it really spoke to me and how I have been feeling lately. "Trust in Me in the midst of a messy day. Your inner calm--your Peace in My Presence--need not be shaken by what is going on around you. When you start to feel stressed, detach yourself from the disturbances around you. Instead of desperately striving to maintain order and control in your little world, relax and remember that circumstances cannot touch My Peace. Do not let your heart be troubled and do not be afraid."
I am slowly but surely learning that I cannot have control over everything in my life. I know God has a plan for me and I must wait for what is coming.
