New Opportunities

I just love my Bible Study group. Lately I've just had this overwhelming desire to see this group grow & really seek the Lord. In my Senior Seminar class I've had to talk a lot about my time at North Georgia & how & what I've learned. This has prompted me to think not only about what I've learned academically, but also how I've grown spiritually. My years in college have been some of the most trying, but also some of the times that I've felt closest to God. My faith has become my own. I don't go to church or read the Bible or fellowship with other Christians because I have to, or because it's what my parents do but because I want to. This Bible Study has been a huge part of me for the last year & a half. I've always enjoyed meeting with small groups like this, but never before have I felt such a desire to seek God & to really know Him.

Today I was asking one of our new baby squirrels (my sorority's mascot is the squirrel, so our new members are "baby squirrels," just to clarify...I don't generally speak to actual live squirrels.), asking if she is involved in a Bible study right now & she answered "I'm planning on coming to the one at your house." I was so excited to hear that! I was just thinking on the way home...we have 28 new members. That's 28 new opportunities. But way more really. I want to see some of these girls at Bible Study. I want to see them bring other girls from their halls. I just see how much I've grown & how many people have invested in me, & more than ever, I want that for them.
