Like any student, college introduces you to many interesting people. Although, some may be bizarre, strange or flat out weird, appearances can be misleading. If you allow yourself to approach each individual with an open mind, you might be surprised by what you discover as you peal away stereotypes, one layer at a time.
During my final semester, I met a missionary with an unusual testimony. According to her story, she claimed God got her up every day at 6am in the morning without using an alarm clock. As a person who enjoyed sleeping in til noon or later, I was skeptical, doubting her claim. Perhaps out of spite or sheer curiosity, I challenged God to see if I could have a similar experience during my last two months of college.
To my surprise, the first morning I arose, sunlight shined directly through my bedroom window right on my face. When I rolled over to check out the clock on my night stand, it was 6:00 am. Immediately, I jump out of bed, causing goosebumps to appear. I spent the next 15 minutes, praying and reading the Bible, wondering if this was real or merely a dream. Like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day, I got out each morning at the same time for the next 60 days, an unusual answer to prayer!
