friends

This semester has been so much fun already and it has only been a few weeks. Don't get me wrong I am super busy with my classes, being an RA, and having a job at the coffeehouse but something about this semester is much different than the last. I still can't put my finger on what it is that changed but I am thankful for whatever it is. This semester has been filled with new friends: which in itself brings about the question game (which is one of my favorite past times), hours of laughing, and trips to Long Island.
I am so thankful for the RA position and the people that it has placed in my life. It is really encouraging to hear someone say to you, "Thanks for taking that extra step to get to know me, because no one else would have." That is an amazing feeling that I can once again point back to God. For some strange reason, when I see occasional people for the first time I get this little voice in my head saying "you will be their friend" and low and behold I look at my friendships now and those people are in my circle of friends. It is kind of random that I am writing about this but it is what came out of the keyboard as I sat down and typed. The wierdest part of this is that I was beginning to worry that I was ignoring God (which I probably was) but now I sit down to blog something small to distract me from my homework and wham! This is what He showed me. I have seen God in my relationships with other people, especially with those who took the most effort to "catch" as friends. Wow! I am suprised with the ways God shows Himself yet again... and yet again I wonder why am I so amazed?
