The Walk of Faith

Deuteronomy 7:9 "Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God  who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations."

    This past Saturday I started my first day Of CA (Community Assistant) training. I am beyond blessed that God has given me this opportunity to serve Him and the girls in my section this year spiritually. Also, I am blessed to be working along side of Lea my RA (Residence Assistance). She is one of the most loving, kind, down to earth, spiritual person I have met, and I am so excited to grow with her and learn more about who she is. But before I started training, I was a nervous wreck, not knowing what to expect from training week. I didn't know a lot of the people from Reslife, I don't do well will introducing myself to people first, I'm a introvert, I have trouble starting conversations, and I get very tired after being around large groups of people all day. So, knowing what Reslife was and what training week would be like; I had to face my fears and get out of my comfort zone. At times I wondered why God would call a shy person like me to be a CA in Reslife, but I know He had a reason for me being here. So, I trusted Him and took the first step out of my comfort zone this entire week. And let me tell you I have seen changes in myself that I have not seen before. Slowly, not quickly, but slowly I have been learning how to open myself up more to people. Especially people that I may not open myself up to usually. I have learned to appreciate more about people's differences and similarities, I have loved getting to know all of the people on the Reslife team, and I love how funny they are! They are always making you laugh! I still consider myself an introvert by the end of the day, but I still love community and I love to talk and have conversations with people about their personal life. I have appreciated the openness and kindness that the Reslife team has showed towards me and others around me. We are all like one big family. In the end, most lessons I have learned is always go where the Lord calls you, even if it's scary and out of your comfort zone, because you will grow and learn many new things. Don't be afraid because the Lord is faithful and always by your side. Embrace the journey the Lord has prepared for you!
