So today I had the opportunity to go to my college, the University of Alabama at Birmingham, to eat lunch with the college President and go on a special campus tour. Being there at the college made me even more excited for when I move in in August. Not only that, I'm just excited for a new life in the city.
Anyways, the most important part of my day was the fact that I really got to talk to my mom today. And by talk, I mean we had deep conversations about life, our faith, and just people in our lives. I drove to Birmingham and back and all the while my mom and I talked about things we normally don't talk about. We talked about problems in our own household, my faith journey, and just passions of my own. It was really good because my mom and I never had this connection before.
On my way home, I got a phone call saying I have a job interview and that probably made my day even better. I've been praying about this job and I'm glad that God has been blessing me with all these countless opportunities.
Tonight, my mom and I went to an informational meeting about my church's upcoming mission trip over the summer. It was really awesome and I'm glad that I'll be spreading God's love and serving Him in San Antonio, Texas. Along with that, I pitched ideas on ways to fundraise money for our trip and one of them was a big concert at our church. Things are in planning mode but I'm feeling really good about it!
What really surprised me tonight was that my mom wanted to pray with me as soon as we got to church tonight before the meeting. She said, "Let's thank God for the safe trip we had today and everything else." I was really taken aback but I was glad I was able to share this moment with my mom.
God is definitely here with me and He's answering my prayers. With God in my life, there's no telling in what He's gonna do for me. He's helping me so I can help others.
