Week 1.

1. God blessed me with reassurance. I am probably the most indecisive person I know. I will literally spend 15 minutes standing in a store trying to decide between a simple v-neck t-shirt in pink or blue. (I did that a couple of weeks ago.) So obviously, the idea of changing majors has caused me to toss and turn at night. While following the original plan of a business degree in marketing sounded like the "right" answer, last week God confirmed that switching to the journalism and mass communications department for PR was the right answer for me. I visited O2 Ideas, an advertising and PR firm here in Birmingham, for a paper I have to write. Talking to the senior account officer put my worries to rest. God created me to be in a creative environment. Event planning.

2. God blessed me by speaking through His word. I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. So it was no surprise to me to that God chose to speak to me through scripture. But the funny thing is that he placed me in several different worship services and conversations, where Romans 8 was studied or talked about. Seriously, every where I went, and trust me, I somehow ended up at 3 different churches within a week and a half span, I heard the message of Romans 8. And last night, Romans 8:28 hit me like a load of bricks in an extreme moment of weakness. I am so thankful for this promise: "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."

3. God blessed me with amazing friends. I've known this for a while. But this past week I was constantly reminded of that blessing. I am so incredibly blessed to have best friends who are true women of God. I don't know what I did to deserve such amazing friends, but I definitely see why God placed each of them in my life. The fact that I am able to cry like a baby and then be prayed for over the phone is a true blessing. 

 More specifically, I was blessed by these three lovely ladies this past week:
