"Greater things are still to be done in this city!"

I was told i needed to update more frquently so here it goes:

This week has gone by very fast and i have made it to every class! The alarm problem has been solved and my sweet dad is letting me use his old cellphone until i can get a new one! Classes are officially into full swing and midterms are right around the corner. I absolutely love college, but unlike highschool one week might be really laid back and then the next EVERYTHING hits! Its really easy to get overwhelmed but thanks to my handy dandy Chi Omega planner i am learning time management! (What a concept mom) haha...

Last night i went to 8:29 and was so very encouarged!

A little Background:
Troy Alabama is not the biggest town and the campus consists of about 9,000 students , it is such a sweet town but not many big things come down to troy.
UNTIL NOW!!
Last night at 8:29 our leader Frank announced that a conference called Afterdark (led by Joe White of Promise Keepers) would be coming to troy. Afterdark is a huge ministry that has swept its way across college campuses all over the nation such as: Ohio State, Auburn, Pepperdine,Kansas State, Lousiana Tech, Missouri and now TROY UNIVERSITY! They showed a promotion video and the excitment in the room was indescribable. I am so excited to see what the Lord is going to do through this ministry. It is the cry of my heart as well as many other college students that we have a revelation on our campus and hearts be transformed in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Please be praying for this conference as it comes to Troy, i feel like it has the potential to be the turning point on my campus and a great opportunity for students to surrender their lives to the only one who is worth it all!

Have a blessed rest of the week,

"Everybody has those days!"


The picture above has nothing to do with my post, but it made me smile at just the right time and i hope it does the same for you! 
Beep..beep...beep...this is not what i heard Monday morning when i was supposed to wake up. I always set my alarm on my phone but as sad as this is , my phone has officially died causing it not being able to wake me up so i woke up at 9:40...On a sidenote i have a 9:00, 10:00, and 11:00 class....I woke up obviously in a panic and so upset with myself. In the meantime i had to keep going and literally roll out of bed and run! Its moments like this that i wish i could rewind and watch after ive had a little while to wind down! Anyways, the day started off on the wrong foot and the first half of the day just seemed to be one of those days where nothing goes right! On the way to my last class i called my dad and he offered some very uplifting words of encouargment and made my bad day seem so much better! He said he would be praying for me, and that was evident as the rest of the day unfolded. When i finished with my classes and went back to the room i sat down and began to have my quiet time. (Granted, i should have had one before i even left the dorm, but unfortunately this was not possible.) Anyway, I am currently doing Stepping Up by Beth Moore with some girls from church, and the words i read for the next hour slowly began to make me cry. What had seem to have been the worst day was now the best! It is so cool how God puts things, people and even specific words that minister to your heart at just the right time.I cannot even begin to express just how good the Lord has been to me since i have been at Troy. He truly is an awesome God and he continues to captivate my heart more and more each day!!
