There are more than 7 billion people on this earth, and that number continues to grow each second. There are tall and short, blonde and brunette, Caucasian and African American people. We are all unique and different in our own ways and yet God knows us each by name, he knows the amount of hairs on our head, and he knows our entire future.

In the past year specifically I had to make a lot of decisions. Where I wanted to go to college, what I wanted to major in, and what direction I wanted my future to go in. These decisions haven’t been easy but I choose to go to Dordt, and I already know that Dordt College is the right place for me. However, I did not make these decisions on my own. The Holy Spirit has guided me to my friends, Dordt, and my major. Without the work of the Holy Spirit in my life in the past for years I don’t think I would be where I am
