freshman day #2

first days.

If God was trying to test me on my first day - move in day - He did one darn good job. It was less than 2 hours of sleep, flying to Indiana, realizing I left my contacts on my sink counter at home, purchasing $200+ worth of stuff from the local Walmart, having my mom express ship my contacts for $36, and then going to a floor meeting and realizing that I was living, seriously living, in a huge party dorm. And that wasn't even the worst of it. My phone malfunctioned horribly and after several attempts, could only be saved by a factory reset, wherein I lost all my pictures and music. Again.
FURTHERMORE. My laptop could not connect to the wifi on campus and three guys from tech services told me that I would have to reinstall Windows 7. With no external drive on hand to backup any of my files. 

Yeah I cried. I cried like a little girl cause I finally realized I would have to live some place that wasn't home for the next 3 months 4 years with a ton of people I didn't know and didn't really care to know and that everything BROKE the first day.
And the passage RC assigned us for that day was Psalm 18. Oh so good.

"The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold...
For who is God besides the Lord? And who is the Rock except our God? It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure." Psalm 18: 2, 31-32

So this passage talks more about the power and greatness of God. And technically in context it's about God rescuing David from the killers who were pursuing him. But just reading how God reaches down and saves us, how God is always there to be our stronghold, just wow. And I prayed so desperately to God, please please. Let me trust in You, just bring me comfort. And I still cried anyways.

But today, today was a good day. Big Bro and Daddy spent about 2 hours resolving my wifi issues on my computer. And I got my phone loaded up and working (though still no pictures). But praise God. It's all going to be okay. He is always there for me. Just thank you God.


THE END.
