Prayer request...please.

[Laura]

I'm going back to school tomorrow...and I just found out last night that one of my best friends is not coming back. Not only that, one of my other good friends is leaving at the end of the year. I was just coming to terms with the fact that my roommate is not coming back next year. This not only leaves me without all my good friends, but without people to live with next year. I have other friends, but these people are the people I'm always around.

Apparently, the one not coming back for this semester is coming to explain everything to us either tomorrow or Wednesday. This is going to be so hard...because I'm the only one who likes it there, and now I'm questioning myself about the decision I made. Last year I was so depressed and scared about making a decision of which school to go to...and now, this is so hard.

Please pray that I have the strength to get through this.

Proverbs 3, verse 5 and 6 says, Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him and he will direct thy paths. I pray God Blesses you.

I will pray for your situation Laura.

Hang in there sis. Hang in there.
Take a deep breath and know that everything will all work out in time.
God is in control.

I know it's hard, but hang in there!

Sometimes Jesus gives us the most WONDERFUL surprises too! So try to think positively, all of these changes might open the door for new and wonderful things to come into your life!

Laura,

As an ex-member of the military, I know what it's like to be suddenly dumped somewhere without anyone that you knew before. It takes time to get back everything that you felt that you "lost". However, I'm here to tell you that adversity such as this almost always turns to blessings...let me show you why.

1) God wants you to reliant on him...not others. While it may not seem to at first, the ability for one to be able to be happy no matter what the situation is a blessing that very few ever achieve.

2) It give you the opportunity to make and meet NEW friends. God never wants us to live in a comfortable shell that never changes. This is a great opportunity for you to see another side that you have not before. Grow in the Lord. Meet new people. Find new blessings. Step out of the boat!

I've been put in several places where I knew no one, and each time I was blessed with things I would have never experienced had I stayed in my "safe shell". I now enjoy the opportunity to see new things, God has never steered me wrong in this regard.

Hope this helps!

Cheers and God Bless!

Auntie and KnightCross (and everyone else for that matter), thank you so much for the sweet comments. They mean a lot, and they do help...so thank you.

Praying for you Laura. I pray that God will send you some new, good friends in whom you will wonder how you ever lived without.

Unfortunately, this is part of growing up. But just think of the new friends you will get to meet. I know it may seem sad and a bit scary right now. Some of the better friends I have now in life I meet in college and right after I graduated from college and started work. God puts people into our life for a reason. Just remember to thank him for the ones he has put in your life so far and for the ones to come!

Thank you all. I got back to school on Tuesday...and I've been pretty busy since then. The one friend who left actually left when I was out with my roommate, so that was a little weird. We never had that "talk" or whatever it was. The only thing is, her roommate will not shut up about not liking it here. She'll like randomly bring it up. I can't handle that negativity right now. I need to be focusing on the positive things to try and get myself out of this...but it's hard when there are negative things around.

Anyway...thanks again.
