The
spirit of God is in the wind, blowing where it pleases, and it chooses to blow
around Rockhurst. As I walk to class and see the leaves falling gently from the
trees guided by the wind, I know God is there. He is everywhere around me. In
the simplest action of breathing in the chilly fall air, He is there giving me
the breath to continue living. He is there in the breeze that caresses my face
when I step outside of Sedgewick. I don’t have to witness a miracle to know the
goodness of God. When I was walking around campus one day, I noticed a leaf
being blown across my path. It didn’t stay in front of me for more than a few
seconds before the wind picked it up and carried it a little farther from me.
This kept happening until the leaf landed on one of the cement benches. Again
it didn’t stay there for long because another gust of wind came and blew it up
again. The leaf had no control over where it was blown, it was determined by
the wind. The same is true for me. The wind has led me to Rockhurst for a reason.
This is where I will let the spirit guide me in my adventures here.
Good luck on finals!
