floodgates

Why hello blogger world..it's been awhile. You see, I really don't enjoy these things. I just don't think that anything I have to say is worth writing about. My days aren't very interesting or filled with excitement. We are "supposed" to get another 22 inches of snow though. It's times like when I walk to class or to the dining hall that I really start missing Florida. We had some good times down there , but it was time to move on. Life doesn't stop. Sometimes, it's easy to forget that. I remember going back home on a college break and thinking how things would still be the same as they were when I left. I quickly realized just how much can change and how much people could change. My coming to New York was definitely the right choice. I love it up here. Yes, it is cold, almost unbearable cold, but what makes it bearable are the close friends I have made, the classes I have taken, and the incredible ways that I have seen God work in not only my life, but also in the lives of my friends as well. There is this verse in the Bible..Malachi 3:10. It says Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. This verse is talking about giving to the Lord, but I also like to think of it for other things. God is asking us to test Him, to trust Him. According to wikipedia, which we all know is COMPLETELY accurate and NEVER wrong about anything, Floodgates are adjustable gates used to control water flow in flood barriers, reservoir, river, stream, or levee systems. I just love this because God is saying Do it, I dare you! See what happens. He can open those floodgates and there will be a ridiculous amount of blessing! Reflect on that for a moment. Imagine sitting there and all around you, blessings are happening.

On another note, I just got back from Miami/Tampa Bay area and let me just say that I had an awesome time. It was so nice to have a little break from the cold and hang out with friends and also be a bridesmaid for my BRE..BEST ROOMMIE EVER! It was a lovely wedding and the bride looked beautiful.

Congrats Erika and Justin!
