It's been exactly one month since Rene and I moved into our dorm, and exactly one month that we've spent eating our lunches alone and Friday nights curled up asleep in bed at 10 because we have no friends. It was something that kind of sucked, but it forced us to grow closer and become pretty good friends which is totally awesome. And although we weren't really fans of being loners we were starting to come to terms with it.
But behold, the power of pancakes!
Last week our AWESOME RA decided to organize a pancake night for the hall, and living right across from the kitchen we naturally volunteered to help out. It turns out that our RA doesn't know how to make pancakes, so Rene and I took the reigns. We spent a solid 30 minutes mixing, baking, and flipping two boxes worth of pancake mix. And this week, we did it again, and made some friends along the way. We actually had more than "Thanks for the pancakes" "You're welcome" conversations with FOUR people on our hall! And have dinner plans with three of them!
I am always amazed at how the Lord uses the situations we're in. If Rene and I had made a ton of friends right away we would not be so willing to converse with these sweet girls for so long tonight and make plans with them. It is really refreshing to watch Him work even if His presence feels on the verge of dormant. I cannot wait to see what else He will bring along for Rene and I! (:

P.S. If you go to Tech and are ever craving pancakes we make them every Sunday night!! (:
