A Friend

I'm officially a flame!! I survived move in day, which was filled with all the emotions, but handled with minimum tears (which is a big win!!). As I sit on my bed, in my small box of a room, I have a constant prayer in my head. A prayer for all the mamas trying their hardest to not cry on the first facetime call to their girl, a prayer for every girl seeking friendship on my campus, and a prayer for those reading this.

Now more than ever I realize the importance of friendship. I've always prayed to find "my people" at college. The group of girls who will encourage me, uplift me, pray for me, and most importantly grow in Jesus with me. And while I have yet to meet this "group," I'm realizing I must be this friend in order to find others.

It's been less than 48 hours on campus and I've heard the word Community over 15 times. One of the main goals here is to establish and take part in the amazing community Liberty holds. A community where prayer, love, and guidance are given freely (with the cost of tuition... jk). So I'm praying to find this community for myself, my friends- new and old, and those back home.

Be the girl to start community in high school, in middle school, or whatever situation God gives you. And while I know it is so hard, I will be trying the same!!

Here's to making friendships, being friends, and putting ourselves out of our comfort zone !!

(+ you will always have a friend in me)

Love,
