Why DBU?

Everytime I tell people I am from AZ, they ask "what brought you to Texas? Why here?" My answer? The only logical way I can put it is God totally lead me here! I was looking to go to a Christian college with a soccer program. I looked all over the country because I needed to get out of AZ. I looked in Tennessee, Iowa, Arkansas and Texas. After visiting all of the colleges, I felt that DBU was the place for me. I had this peace that transcended all understanding. I was really excited when I signed with DBU- I was going to live in a big city, I was going to be free, I was going to get a texas twang! After 3 years here, I have been to the city maybe 6 times, soccer has kept me pretty busy, and unfortunately I haven't aquired a texas twang, yet :)

The other neat part about coming to Texas is that I have had the chance to reconnect with my extended family. My first thanksgiving away from home was spent with 30 family members that I hadn't seen since 6th grade!

It is so neat to see how perfect DBU is for me. Although Jeremiah 29:11 is somewhat cliche, that is what I live by. The Lord definitely has a plan for my life and it is evident since I have been at DBU. Everthing has fallen into place so nicely there is no other explaination than God has His hand all over it! I am so excited to see what other amazing things the Lord is going to do with me while I am at DBU. I have no idea where He is going to take me after college, but I can say with confidence that He has a plan and those plans will not be thwarted!
