Family

Before moving to college, I along with many others had countless anxieties about living in a dorm and having a roommate. I for one have never shared a room and to be completely honest I'm pretty spoiled. Not to mention that being around only girls for an extended period of time has never worked out well as many can imagine. Soo what did I do .. well the only thing I could, fast and pray .. a LOT!

For those who haven't heard me rave about my entire floor including the leadership and all the girls, let me just say they are the BEST girls you could ever meet. Now to my point, it is truly amazing how God works in situations. I have known the girls on my floor for about 2 months... these two months have been the best two months of my life! In this short period of time I have shared some of the hardest things I've gone through in life, my hearts desires, and soo much more.. things that I haven't even shared with people I've known most of my life. The dreams of the girls on our floor will blow your mind and the craziest part is that we have a part in lifting each other up and helping each other accomplish those dreams. While others are at odds with their roommates, I cherish mine as wondrous blessing. She lifts me up, prays for me, and provides me with encouragement.

Unlike some others, I don't come from a large close knit family and it isn't always daisies and roses when our family gathers. In fact, when I grow up and begin a family of my own I want create a totally different atmosphere for family events and stuff. Moriah to me is so much more than a slamin' floor that is a nonstop party... its a family. A family who loves. As in my girls greet me with a hug every time they see me, when I'm down they encourage me, there is just such a sense of community and love you can't even imagine. God blesses me soo much its overwhelming. Some say that family is who your blood related to I however, disagree. Family are those who are there for you no matter what, even if you just need to watch a movie late at night because its been one of those days. They are the ones who lift you up, pray for you, and help you grow spiritually not preach at you nor doom you to fail. Family is so much more than the logistics its a deep bond ... so deep it truly is a spiritual bond.
