"Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him." Mathew 6:8
God knows exactly what you need, who you need, and when you need it. This stands so true in my life. The year prior to my start of college aka senior year, was by far one of the toughest. I spent mass amounts of my time in prayer asking God for help. Anything or anyone to make this time better. I waited and waited, and nothing seemed to come. I longed for support, true friendship, peace, and comfort. As senior year came to an end, my intense battle with anxiety started to die down, and I started to enjoy life a lot more. I spent less time worrying and had plenty of time to stop and smell the roses, literally. Even though life was looking brighter, I still felt like something was missing.
As the school year approached, my friends moved into their dorms one by one. I had a huge empty hole in may heart. Most of my friends left and I actually had no one to do anything with. I spent most of my time face-timing my best friend who now resides in Lexington; wishing I had her by my side. When school started I was beyond nervous. Was I going to find the support system I needed, would I find a friend even close to my bestie? Time would only tell.
Recruitment was about the only thing I was looking forward to, although I still had my doubts. What if sorority life was not for me, what if I did not click with anyone? Are these people really going to be there for me, like everyone says their sister are?
Recruitment was stressful, I'm not going to sugar coat it. It comes down to two amazing organization in which I felt a strong connection in both. I prayed and prayed and one sorority just seemed right. I left that night as happy as can be. The next morning, bid day, I had a feeling in the pit of my stomach that made me feel just opposite. I felt like I had made the wrong decision. I could not wrap my brain around it because I left so happy yesterday. I opened my bid and had a bid from Alpha Delta Pi. I can honestly say I was still doubting if this was right for me. I doubted myself all day, the day after, and even the weeks after.
As time has passed I have realized why God led me to Alpha Delta Pi. He has blessed me with so many amazing sisters, I would never think twice about my decision. He has brought the support system, peace, and comfort I was longing for. I believe that my sorority is more than a ritual or a symbol, but a way of life. Being a part of ADPi has drawn me so much closer to God and strengthened my relationship with my faith. ADPi has made me a better person and I has only been three months. When God gave me ADPi, it was then that I realized, he had given me more than my share. He knew this was what I needed, and right when I needed it. Today I am thankful that He always know what I need before I even say a word. I am in love with the organization He brought in my life
