Healed Minds Through Broken Hearts

I found the 24-7 ice-cream bin at Taylor. Also the to-go coffee cups. This is good. However, all the athletes are here now, so if you want food, you have to be waiting in line 7.4 minutes before the dc (dining commons) opens up.

God works in mysterious ways indeed.

Well, today we shared our testimonies in our "Foundations of Christian Thought" class. Our group was so diverse in our backgrounds, yet everyone had a common point with someone else in the room. Most people grew up in Christian homes, attended church all their life, and are learning to make their faith their own. However, there were many people who have gone through unbelievable hurt. The fact that they felt safe enough to be this honest, open up this much to people they don't really know yet, was truly a "God" thing. There's Amy, who's mother committed suicide when Amy was in 8th grade. Sitting beside her was Carley, who's father announced he was leaving this spring. Then there was Olivia, who just found out her mother had been having an affair with her principle. Tyler has met his father once in his life. The list goes on. These people have been to hell and back, yet they persevered through God's grace and forgiveness. They found strength in His loving arms, and healing in His peace.

This is the God we serve. This is the God we love. It's through Christ we are able to overcome.

In Him alone,
