Before moving to Tuscaloosa I would pray that God would lead me to a congregation that I could attend while away at school. God answered my prayers and blessed me with much more. He blessed me with Tide4Christ. I am thankful every day because I have a church that I can call my family. To any freshman, transfer student, or anyone looking for a place to worship, come visit Tide4Christ. The students here at Central have become a family to me, and have continued to encourage my walk with Christ from day one.
Hebrews 10:24 “And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works.”
Romans 12:10-13 “Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another; 11 not slothful in business; fervent in spirit ; serving the lord; 12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; 13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.”
Romans 12:15 “Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.”
When I first moved to Tuscaloosa for college, I attended Shelton State Community College. I am now transferring to UA as a junior. I am so excited for this school year to begin! I am, however, very nervous. I tend to worry about what the future will hold and stress about my classes. There are a couple verses I like to turn to when the everyday worries become too much to handle on my own.
Romans 8:28 “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”
Matthew 6:25-34 “Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? 27Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? 28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.”
Throughout the semester, whenever you feel burdened, remember that God is on your side. He is here to make all things work together for the better. God has blessed us with friends and family here on earth to lean on when times are tough. As a member of Tide4Christ Student Ministries, I know that I can turn to anyone I have met here at the Central Congregation.
