Blessed

Today God reminded me of how incredibly blessed I am to be at a Christian college.
I look around our campus and see kids who care about God,
maybe some less than I would hope,
but they do - to an extent - at least care about God.
I'm not persecuted for my faith,
I can openly talk about my joy for the Lord without a thought.
I can discuss deep theological topics with other people my age who genuinely care and will search scripture for answers.
I can say I'll be praying for someone without them ever getting upset with me.
I can take bible classes and deepen my biblical knowledge.
I can have accountability partners.
I can have bible studies.
I am incredibly blessed,
and I praise the Lord for this time of growing,
knowing that in a few years I'll once again find myself in the world.
Surrounded by the depth of despair and pain that encompasses our fallen world,
but this time I'll have tasted the depth of peace that comes from living in community with believers.
This time, I'll be better equipped to take the world for Christ.
Look out, world, this girl really loves Jesus -
and she's not afraid to talk about it.
