simple prayers

It is hard to believe that I am nearing the end of my first collegiate semester. As I reflect on the semester and think about being thankful, I realize how the Lord has blessed me in many ways: amazing friends, a christian sorority, favorable professors, an ability to be open about my faith. I remember the first day of school, as I drove to my first day of a "real" school, I prayed that God would send me a friend that, just one, that was a strong christian and similar in core values. I continued to pray. Not a week later, I found, as I call her, my college best friend. Jordan Pence may not know that she was God's answer to my humble and simple prayer, but she is. God has used her to show me how to love others, how to love selflessly and fully. God answers simple humble prayers.
