the coolest thing just happened.

Tonight I went out to a Beer & Wings shindig at a pub with my floor. I was feeling pretty apprehensive about going, but I stayed committed - I have a really good habit of bailing out last second. But I went anyways. I ran into my roommate and her friend as well, so I joined them with my friend and we all sat together. The evening turned out to be really fun and I got to know my other roommate better.

And it turns out that my roommate is a Christian. Which is a definite blessing because I had been hoping, praying, for some sort of a Christian influence this year and VIOLA! My roommate and I were placed together. After chatting more back at our room, she told me that she had been praying all summer specifically for a Christian roommate. We kinda just stood in awe at how our lives came together.

This is the most amazing, and direct/instantaneous way I've seen God work in my life. I asked for a Christian influence this year and boom - here's a God loving roommate. And by simply going to an event I almost backed out of, I started a potentially-great friendship. Imagine if I hadn't gone?

It's situations like these that make me just stop and marvel at how God has it all figured out. Despite my own perception of life, despite how hard I may think school is or how hard it is to build strong friendships, He has it all under control and in His good will. So tonight I'm extra thankful for His timing and planning, cause I know for sure that I couldn't do life without Him.
