We are only just beginning our adventures together as roommates, but I can already tell our time living together are going to be some of the best days. College is such an amazing time, the adventures we've already taken and those that are yet to occur throughout this year will make our time in college unforgettable. Through our year living together, I have a few promises for you. I promise to...
1. Laugh together
Recommended for you
We are all already aware that when we are together we tend to laugh...a lot. We've laughed at the stupid things we did/said, how we feel about things, and even at the terrible jokes I try to share. I'm looking forward to the continued laughter that will fill our house.
2. Be there through the good times
I promise to be excited with y'all on the days you make the traveling squad, get a good grade on the test you've studied immensely for, get the news that you got the internship, reach a PR, and so much more. I'm excited to celebrate so many things with y'all!
3.Be there on the bad days
The bad days will come when Satan is trying so hard to beat you down, but I can promise we will tell him "not today, Satan" and fill your mind with scripture and truth that comes from Jesus alone. Those days are bound to happen, but know you will not face them alone.
4. Remind you who God created you to be
God has a plan for each one of us, and I am excited to see how each one of our lives unfolds. I'm excited to be able to support each other and constantly remind y'all who God intended you to be. God intended you to be women after His own heart—loving, gracious, kind, forgiving, etc. I promise to remind you that God has a plan and created you for a specific purpose that no one else can fill.
5. Be a listening ear
I will always be here for you to vent to. If you want advice or my opinion about something, I will give it. But if you just need someone to listen, I will do that too.
6. Have late night conversations
Although these have already occurred, I promise to continue to have those late night conversations about whatever it is we so choose to discuss.
7. Keep you accountable
I promise to keep you accountable in whatever it is you ask of me. As a sister in Christ, I most definitely promise to keep you accountable in your walk with the Lord, as that is the foundation of our lives.
8. Pray for you
Whatever it is you need prayer for, I will be happy to pray. Prayer changes so much and I will always be ecstatic to know how I can be praying for each one of my roommates.
So, as this school year begins, I am excited to see us grow closer as friends and sisters in Christ. I'm thankful that the Lord placed us to live with each other and for the opportunity to be y'all's roommate.
