I really got a sense of peace this weekend.
For my fall break this weekend, I went to the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. As you may have read in past blogs, that is where I longed to go. I wanted to get the freedom of the real world, without real consequences. I wanted to have the typical get drinking and partying experiences that so many other people have.
Well this weekend, all that changed. I visited some friends that were having those exact experiences. The more I hung out with them the more I realized that what they were doing was definitely not my scene. I just felt so out of place. While all of them are extrem
ely kind and cool, I just did not want to be a part of their drinking and really their lifestyle.So, as hard as it may be to say this, I'm glad that God led me to Asbury. He knew that if I did experience those things, then after it was all said and done, I would have realized that I just wasted four years of my life. Through this simple weekend, he gave me a glimpse of what i'm "missing".
NOTHING.
Everything I need is right here. God has finally let me accept that, and it is truly a great feeling. Also I think it needs to be clear that i'm not saying what they do is wrong, because I do plenty of things that are considered wrong also. I just feel that their lifestyles are not what God has in store for me. I hold no grudges against UT or any of the people there, I just know now that God wants me at Asbury.
P.S. I almost died trying to take these pictures so enjoy them...:)
