Is there room in the inn?

Housing began yesterday morning.

The rooms had been going like hotcakes. Could you blame them? Belmont has limited on-campus housing. Granted, many students want apartments and such, but that still leaves a pretty good majority who want the on-campus. I was in a suite fellowship with my friends. Our draw times sucked. Basically, Belmont put every student in a lottery draw. My time is at 10:57pm tonight, one of the last.

My friend had her drawtime for last night. She picked a room in TK and we were praying for the suite room since then. All of a sudden, she doesn't want to suite with us anymore. She quickly finds another roommate and now is in a room, totally safe and secure.

She pretty much left us out to dry.

So now we, the three amigas, still have that room she signed up for. We're praying continually for the adjoining room.

I've been in prayer since last night and it seems things are still looking good. My friends have slowly lost faith in the situation but not me. I can't not have faith in Someone who's way bigger than this petty nonsense.

So now we sit and wait. That's the hard part.

Waiting.

It's like class scheduling all over again. Goodness, that was a whirlwind of craziness! But everything came together just fine and this housing thing will too.

I am completely confident in my Jesus. If things go our way, praise the Lord. It'll be a great testimony. If not, well then, we'll know He's got a better plan for us than being with fellow sophs, juniors, and some seniors. We would have to be with freshmen no doubt. And even then that wouldn't be bad.

As a human, but most importantly, as a Christian, I have to keep reminding myself who truly is in control.

It's not us. It's not Belmont. It's God. And He knows exactly what's going to happen.
