This year, the Wesley has been absolutely amazing. God continues to blow me away
with everything that he keeps doing here. I am beyond excited to see what all God has in store
for the Wesley and all the students at Delta State the rest of this year!
I have been so blessed ever since I arrived at Delta State University last fall. Coming into
college, I never dreamed of all the things that God was about to do in my life. I always thought
my college experience would consist of class and schoolwork and nothing else. I assumed that
life as I knew it would continue, and I would stay in the same patterns and routines that I had
been in my whole life. I never anticipated making many friends, or being really involved in any
extracurricular activities. Thankfully, God had much better plans for me, like he always does!
Ever since I stepped into the Wesley last year, I felt right at home, and like it was a place that I
needed to be; however, I had no idea what all that would hold. Over the last year and a half, I
have grown so much in my relationship with Christ. I have found some of the best friends that I
have ever had. Friends who boldly display the love of Christ to everyone they meet, and friends
that encourage me daily in my walk and life in general. This semester, God has blessed me even
further and allowed me to serve alongside Sarah Mumme (who wrote an amazing blog post week that you should definitely read) as an intern. I’m so thankful that God has chosen me, in
spite of my failures and unworthiness, to reach out and love Delta State.
I highly encourage being involved in a campus ministry of some sort. I can honestly say
that without the Wesley and the amazing people that I’ve met there, I don’t know where my
life would be. I’m so thankful for all the relationships I have built through the Wesley. I’m even
more thankful that God continues to work in and through me on a daily basis. I’m thankful that
I have an undeserved love that will never disappear or fade away, regardless of any
circumstance. I’m thankful that God has placed me at Delta State to share this love with others.
I’m thankful for guidance and direction that God gives me everyday. I’m thankful for all the
many blessings that God gives me, and one of these many blessings is the Delta State Wesley
Foundation.
