NEW This Week
Can you tell us about a time when you felt like a sojourner, when others were silently passing you by and when someone welcomed you and made you feel loved?

My freshman year in college was a difficult time in my life. My first semester was filled with a smile slapped on my face and an eager spirit to meet as many new friends as possible. For a time that worked for me, but then my second semester came. During that time I was lonely. I completely isolated myself from people. I remember walking back from class and going straight into my room. It was that time when I felt like a sojourner. I felt like everyone else was thriving in college except for me. I felt like even though I had been around so many people I was alone. I tried to distract myself and tell myself that this is normal and that everything was okay. I stopped believing the truths of who God says that I am and I let myself believe the lie that I am an outsider. 

Even though I completely isolated myself, The Lord used sweet friends at RUF (reformed university fellowship) to show His love for me. My new friends continued to include me even though I was passive in the relationship. They made me feel like I had value. They took me in and made me feel so loved and welcomed. The Lord used this college ministry to show me what it looks like to be a sojourner who is welcomed in with open arms.
