unexpected.


never in a million years did i envision my freshman year coming to the end that it did. tornadoes, no water or power, emergency evacuations, and canceled finals. it has been really crazy and confusing as we had 24 hours to pack and get off campus. because it all happened so fast there was no time to prepare to leave and no goodbyes. it seems hard to believe that i will be gone from covenant for almost four months!

as all this unfolded, i was reminded of the verses in james that tells us we are not even guaranteed tomorrow. we make plans for tomorrow, next week, and even next month, but no one knows if they will be alive tomorrow. as i sat in the basement hiding from tornadoes and as i surveyed the damage that was done to the surrounding area, i am 1. grateful to God that i am still alive and 2. in total awe of His power and control.

please continue to pray for the people of Chattanooga and the surrounding area as they try to piece their lives back together.
