A Place To Pray

Today I took time to go on campus and read my bible. As I found a respectful spot with a wondrous view I received a phone call from my mom. We had a good chat, it is always nice to hear about what is going on back home. I do miss home and my family.

After we ended the conversation I said a prayer, praying for clarity and that my heart to be settled. I opened my bible to Isaiah 34, I read through each word carefully making sure I understand the meaning.

The moment I finished reading I could feel a weight in my heart be lifted. I feel peace in my heart and mind knowing that even through the hardest of times you will make it through, you’ll make it through a stronger, better person. God has me right where I need to be, I will stay and fallow His path.

I then look up and see the beauty all around me. I feel that I have found my next home, a home where I can grow and learn. The view reminds me of a place at my grandparent’s old house, tall willow tree dangling its branches into the stream. Even in a faraway place I still feel parts of home have come with me.

P.S. It's Whit
