First Entry

So, basically out of pure boredom, I've decided to keep a sort of journal or diary on here. I'm not sure exactly what this will entail quite yet, but I'm sure it will have a lot to do with both my journey through college life and my journey for salvation. So, I guess that's where I'll start.

I go to Marshall University. It's a nice school, with about 20,000-ish students, though it doesn't feel like nearly that many. I just started going here this semester, so everything is still fairly new to me. For the first few weeks, I was completely lost - no friends, extreme boredom, and so on. I was way too shy to make any friends (and I still am, unless someone approaches me first). So, I'm going to class, eating dinner, going to bed, waking up, eating breakfast, going to class, eating dinner, going to bed, etc. I'm at college, but it feels so...empty. I felt like there was something I could do to better spend my time than spending hours and hours and hours on Facebook, lol.

So, my roommate and I hear about this Christian group on campus. I had never really been to church before, except on the occasional Easter service, so I wasn't quite sure why I was going. But I felt like it was the thing to do. And it was. We go into the basement of our student center on campus, and walk into a dimly lit room with spotlights on a stage, and two projection screens on either side. It seemed really odd to me, but I was already there, so I didn't want to leave. Then, a few students went onto the stage and spoke about what the group was, when they meet, what their upcoming events were, and so on. Those same people turn around, pick up mics and/or instruments and start playing live contemporary Christian music, which was actually pretty amazing. The pastor preached about what we were living for, and I realized nothing. I was just going through the motions. Seriously. I decided then that I wanted to have Jesus in my life.

So, I prayed for a few weeks, and though things over.
And I was saved at a meeting on October 26.



Sorry if you read this and Christianity isn't your thing.
I'm not saying you shouldn't consider it, though.




Enough rambling for now, hahaha.
