Have Patience

After my two classes this morning, I went to the caf for lunch with Kaitlin and Chloe and had salad, a few fries, and a tiny bit of frozen yogurt. For some reason when I got home I started to feel really sick and so did Kaitlin. So we spent the rest of the day with some weird sort of food poisoning or something. It was NOT fun! But I woke up just in time for James to come over so we could hang out along with Chloe until everyone came over for Bible study. I also skyped with my parents and told them an amazing joke that Liz told me about a singing cookie... If you don't know this joke then seriously ask one of my parents about it! They would be happy to tell you!

This semester in Bible study we're going through the book of Romans and tonight it was especially confusing. I know that the book was written forever and a half ago, but I had no idea what Paul was saying in the verses we read tonight. I feel like I asked so many questions, but in the end it was SO worth it. It was all about being prisoners to sin, but knowing in our minds that we are saved through Christ. After we were done, I had a nice conversation with Spencer (he's also a freshman and lives in a building near mine) about having patience. When our Bible study leader tonight asked for prayer requests, I asked that I could have patience and remember to show God's love even to people that I don't particularly like. He told me he was really struggling with this too, so it was nice for me to know that I wasn't the only one going through it. We kind of offered each other support and it helped just knowing that my whole Bible study knew exactly how it was to struggle with that type of thing (:

So I’ll stand with arms high and heart abandoned, in awe of the One who gave it all. So I’ll stand, my soul Lord to You surrendered...All I am is Yours ♥
