I just have a short story to share with all of you. I could not sleep last night; my mind was spinning and spinning with all of the blessings that have happened to me in the past week. It was spinning so much that early this morning, I just broke down and cried. I cried not of sadness, but of joy. I have grown so much closer to God in the past week, I think, than I have in my whole lifetime. Between going to church on 9/11 to singing to our Lord through The Remedy to participating in my dorm's bible study, I am just so overwhelmed at how blessed I am. Last night, as I was sobbing, I realized that life, right now in this moment, is pretty close to perfect. I continue to thank the Lord each and every day how ridiculously blessed I am. I knew there was a reason I chose to go to Concordia: It was You, God, who decided that. It is You, God, who gave me my love for children. It is You, God, who led me to live my life the way I am. You made me; I am me because of You. During bible study tonight, we talked about this:
"God sent the one who would rescue and restore us. His name was Jesus. The unique Son of God became one of us. He spoke truth, modeled love, dispensed grace, granted forgiveness, and offered life in all of its fullness."
He is my ultimate role model, and I could not love without His guidance. I cannot wait what else He has in store for me this year. I am blessed, and so are you.
Love, Sarah Allison
