Since being back at HPU, I really hadn't thought about Carolina Cross Connection all that much other than to tell people what an amazing summer I had had, but somehow, realizing that I was the only one in that classroom who had God in the forefront of her activities made me homesick. Homesick for these beautiful souls:
Homesick for the amazing family I made this summer that was so on fire for God that they were unashamed to jump around praising Him. Homesick for a group of college students who gave up their summers to be servants of God's word, and homesick for people who made me love Jesus more just because of their enthusiasm.
The more I thought about it, the more I realized that some of these friends I've made are probably discovering the same things as they head back into school, and how that is just another way that God is able to connect us all. It also made me realize what a lucky girl I am to be able to get to know everyone of these people and watch them grow with me in faith. And finally, it made me realize that if just one of the people I meet on campus here who don't have that strong of a faith view me in the same way that I viewed my staff, just maybe they will want to bring God further into their lives. And maybe next semester, when a professor requires them to list their extracurriculars off to the class, loving Jesus will be at the forefront of their activities as well.
So looking for God's love throughout this campus might be a little more difficult than it was at camp this summer, or maybe it will be just as easy, I'll just have to look in a different way.
