Dorm life is my favorite part of Emerge. I love the late night conversations, the spontaneous movie nights and the constant laughter. The beloved common room is where our eleven separate lives all seem to collide. There is truly never a dull moment. Before coming to Emerge I had no biological sisters. While I still don’t, I certainly have gained 10 sister-like friends. I have created a special bond with each of them and it’s hard to imagine my Emerge journey without them in it. The first time I ever heard the phrase “We get to do life together” was at Destiny Worship Center. What once was a foreign phrase, I now understand completely. “To do life together” means that you’re walking through life (its good times and bad times) with other people who are striving to love the Lord and honor Him just like you. You get to enjoy things and learn things with people who love you. I don’t just live in a house with 10 other girls, I have the privilege to do life with them. As Emerge comes to an all too soon end I know that being separated from them will be the hardest goodbye. I look forward to watching God work through these special relationships I’ve made over the past 6 months. I am thankful for this season of “doing life with” my sweet Emerge sisters.
