Love you guys.

So Im done with my first ever semester in college. Im thrilled. God has brought me through alot this past semester, including Him bringing me to my knees and realizing that I totally need to focus on Him.

Along the way God has placed several people in my life that I have grown close to and they understand what Im going through. I am thankful for such great friends. So welcome to our lives.

These two people need no introduction but for those of you who dont know them. They are Justin and Sarah. This was taken after the Lecrae concert in November which I must say was amazing. It was a great time to spend with friends and just to worship the God of the universe. I believe with all my heart that Justin and Sarah were two Godsent people to be placed in my life. Justin just happens to live a couple doors down from me. He is just so wild and crazy, and He is just all about fun. As you can see, he likes to play Paper Jamz. He is a guy that I can go crazy and just have a fun time with. I admire his Christ like attitude and what He's been through alot and I admire that Christ is in his life. He encourages me and Im thankful for that.

Sarah is my best friend. In fact before I met her I can say that I didnt talk alot I didnt really have any friends at the beginning of the semester. We have alot in common and she is just another fun person. She understands my weirdness and thats cool. Her love for God is amazing and her testimoney is powerful. I mean it talks about How real our God is. I admire that. We are just soo goofy together. The both of us just like to have a good amount of fun.

O Tami, my english friend. It was so nice getting to know over the course of the semester. I am going to miss you,(I know you will be back) but still. It was great getting to go on the Lecrae trip and that was a day I will never forget for the rest of my life. You are an awesome person and dont change for anyone. I know your hate for Kenya soo much and Im sorry that I brought it up so much, and I will watch that show that you wanted me to see.

These Girls mean alot to me as well. They are Ru and Taffy. These ladies along with Justin and Sarah, belong to my Bible Study in our dorm. These two ladies are strong in their walks and I admire and look up to them alot. Ru's testimoney is similar to mine and when she said it at bible study one night, it allowed me to open up a little about myself than I had before. I dont like to talk about my past but It needed to be said and after that night I felt so much freedom. They are so encouraging to me. Taffy is the prayer warrior as I like to call it in Bible Study, she knows how to pray. I always like to hear her pray. I am thankful to God for bringing us together and I look forward to what He has planned for us next semester.

I am thankful for all these people in my life. I call these my close friends that I can go to anyone of them and they will lead me to God or even pray for me.

Love you all

Matt
