rooted in Him

one more post [for now] about Alpha Gam.  I'm sorry, but I'm just on a AGD high after this weekend.  & I miss it a lot.

this is my family on bid day.  

picture stolen from my gg-niece, Katie, who I'm proud to say seems to have taken over the picture-taking.

when I joined Alpha Gam, my family was me, Jessi (my big) & Cristi (my g-big).  

now: us + Brandi, Rachel, Laurel, Kirstie, Casey, Caitlin, Sara, Brittany, Katie, Blakney, Chrissy, Alison, Keri, & Chelsea.  um...wow.

Colossians 2:6-7 has been my prayer for our little Lambda family for a long time now.

Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted & built up in Him & established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.

in my college years, my faith became my own.  I felt love & heartbreak.  God turned my life upside down.  I felt peace in the confusion & hope in the knowledge that He is sovereign.  I came face-to-face with my own unforgiveness & learned to deal with that.  He put my heart back together again & taught me how to allow Him to guard it.  He gave me a desire for His Word that I never knew I was missing.  He provided not just friends but a family.  & now that I've graduated & left all that physically behind, He's shown me that the friendships He's created will not end.  in the job confusion I feel now, there's still an underlying peace.  He continually tells me, "be still."  

I just know that college was such a growing time for me & I long for it to be for these girls as well.  

dear God, 

please use Alpha Gam to bring Your light to that campus & raise up a generation that longs to serve you & bring glory to Your name.  create in these girls a love for you & a passion to give their lives to glorify You.
