I started college on August 16! WOW!! I knew it was going to be different from high school, but my goodness, I didn't know it was going to be THIS different! I mean, I knew I was going to be different! I wanted to be different! I mean it's plan in the Bible! Matthew 5:14 - Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. That's what I wanted! I wanted to be different! I wanted my light to shine, and I didn't want to be different just because I'm the girl that only wears skirts! I wanted to be different because I wanted people to see a light in me! When people look at me, I want them to see Jesus!! I'm in this world, but not of this world! Revelation 18:4 - And I heard another voice from Heaven saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. Boy did I get a wake up call of just how different I am!! Everywhere I went all I heard was "Did you get the Carter 4?" "Are you going to Shakey Jakes tonight?".
UGGGHHHHH!!! I wanted to scream!!!!!! I actually cried! I cried on my mom's shoulder and Steven's shoulder! I was so used to walking down the halls of my high school and having people TALK to me and not look at me like I'm some weirdo who's walking around in a skirt! I thought it couldn't get better. I didn't want to compromise, to reject my conviction, so I didn't! I kept my standards and kept walking to class proudly wearing my skirts! People began talking to me, some whom I still don't know. They knew me but I didn't know them. So through all of this I realized that God is going to protect his people! He's not going to let us down. He never promised a bed of roses, but He promised He'd be with us through every situation! (:
