Until recently, I thought that God's purpose for bringing me to Cornell was to start a Christian organization which not only serves to bring salvation and Jesus Christ's love to all, but also serves as a powerful force for the Lord's hand and his miracles.
Now, I know the reason as to why I'm in the boonies of Ithaca: so I won't be distracted by Maryland, friends from back home, and even living my Christian life through group settings (you know what I'm talking about, going to praise and worship nights or prayer vigils, praying and worshiping up a storm, and not doing the same thing by yourself, i.e. a Group Christian). I go to Cornell, almost eight hours away from my home, so I won't be comfortable where I am in my relationship with Him, so I will thirst and seek Him more, consistently and continuously. And to learn truly how to love others so different from myself.
God's purpose was that I have an intimate relationship with Him by myself, without any distractions. Instead of me feeling validated by other Christians, He has shown me that I must seek His approval. I want to. He did this so I could really know Him. Seek His beautiful heart. To gaze upon the wondrous Lord's face.
I'm excited about this new chapter.
I'm ready.

WE ARE WOMEN OF A DIFFERENT STATUS;
31 TO BE EXACT
31 TO BE EXACT
A Wife of Noble Character
10Who can find a virtuous and capable wife?
She is more precious than rubies.11 Her husband can trust her, and she will greatly enrich his life.12 She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.13 She finds wool and flax and busily spins it.14 She is like a merchant’s ship, bringing her food from afar.15 She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household and plan the day’s work for her servant girls.16 She goes to inspect a field and buys it; with her earnings she plants a vineyard.17 She is energetic and strong, a hard worker.18 She makes sure her dealings are profitable; her lamp burns late into the night.19 Her hands are busy spinning thread, her fingers twisting fiber.20 She extends a helping hand to the poor and opens her arms to the needy.21 She has no fear of winter for her household, for everyone has warm clothes.22 She makes her own bedspreads. She dresses in fine linen and purple gowns.23 Her husband is well known at the city gates, where he sits with the other civic leaders.24 She makes belted linen garments and sashes to sell to the merchants.25 She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future.26 When she speaks, her words are wise, and she gives instructions with kindness.27 She carefully watches everything in her household and suffers nothing from laziness.28 Her children stand and bless her. Her husband praises her:29 “There are many virtuous and capable women in the world, but you surpass them all!”30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the LORD will be greatly praised.31 Reward her for all she has done. Let her deeds publicly declare her praise.
-Proverbs 31:10-31
