Freshman Retreat

This weekend I was incredibly blessed to be a part of BSU's freshman retreat. Eight freshman [all girls!] went with the BSU counsel to a beautiful retreat center to spend Friday night and the majority of Saturday. We spent our time getting to know each other, hearing great messages, singing together, and playing crazy board games. The amazing thing about the weekend was the way the BSU leadership loved on us freshman. They were completely open. They listened, offered advice, and laughed with us. As a freshman, it's sometimes intimidating to try to make friends with upperclassmen who seem to have it all together. This weekend showed me that they're excited to hang out with freshman and make us feel welcome. That simple willingness really shows me that they "walk the walk" that they talk about every week in BSU. These people are real and I see Christ's love through them.
