I've been in the buddy system before and it doesn't work. The younger is nervous of the older and the older has no time for the younger. So when we were assigned 'buddies' at the start of college, I wasn't so much skeptical as just uninterested.
So, I was introduced to a beautiful red headed girl who asked for my number asked if I had any questions etc and that was that. However she has persisted to keep in contact with me, asking how things are, letting me know she saw me in Chapel and that she liked my dress, filling me in on how module choices work, eating lunch with me and letting me know she is praying for me.
She text me over Christmas to check in on how its going with family and with studies. Then last night she sent me a text about how her sermon at Church had been on peace and how it had impacted her view of study. She encouraged me to claim my Prince of Peace.
I so often overlook peace. One of the most soothing and transforming gifts on offer, just waiting to be received. I thank the Lord for this renewal and hope to remember if afresh each day.
