All My Delight is in You Lord...

So I've officially been here a week..... I wanted to try to get a blog out way sooner than this...but I really felt like God was telling me to wait. I really felt God saying that I needed to be out here for a little bit before he could really speak to me. 

I can tell you that this week has been hard. God has literally brought me to a place of being by myself. I've spent the week pretty much in my room. I've been missing home and my friends and my family. I've been insanely bored and feeling kind of depressed. I've never been at a point in my life where I did not have any friends or anyone constantly in my life. 

I went to the young adults ministry last night, called theMILL. I walked in and sat all by myself. We had an amazing time of worship! We sang a song called, "You Are For Me" by Kari Jobe. The chorus says this, 

"I know that You are for me
I know that You are for me
I know that You will never forsake me in my weakness
I know that You have come down
Even if to write upon my heart
To remind me of who you are".

This song really spoke to me. I have felt very weak since I have been in Colorado. I was letting Satan tell me that I wasn't good enough. I was forgetting for an instant, who my God was. Everything that he has done for me, and provided me with. A year ago, I would have never guessed that I would actually be here, getting ready for school in two weeks. He has done some amazing things in me. 

And this song reminded me of that. 

"I know that you will never forsake me in my weakness"

God is amazing and I have a feeling that he is going to continue to reveal himself to me in the next 10 months. I can't wait. 

My prayer for you, would be the same thing. That wherever, whenever and whatever you are going through, that he will reveal himself to you in some way. 

I know that my correspondence has been lacking a little this week, and I do apologize for that. Please know that I love all of you. Thank you so much for your prayers and all of your support. You have no idea how much I appreciate it. 

Please pray for me tomorrow. I will hopefully be meeting some girls that are going to school with me this year. Please pray that his anointing will be on all of us as we get to know each other. I know that there are still some girls arriving to Colorado this week. I know one specifically will be saying "see ya later" to her family and boyfriend tomorrow. Please pray that the transition for her will be easy. 

I love you all....

Jess
