Psalm 106:1.
I just want to thank God for everything He did for me yesterday. Church was great, both in the college Bible study and in the main service. After the advice my dad gave me last week, I was able to give myself fully to worship yesterday.
After church, I had to hurry back to campus to play in the pep band for the women’s basketball game against the University of Florida. I got to the School of Music to pick up my trumpet, but the building was locked. And what’s worse is that the doors unlock electronically at a specific time. On Sundays, that time is 1pm. I had to be in my seat ready to play by 1:20. The doors didn’t unlock until 1:05. I forgot until 1:10 that the basketball game was in the Coliseum, a ten-minute walk away, not in the fitness center across the street where the volleyball games are played. So I started walking hurriedly, and I was about to make a call saying I was going to be late when another band member pulled up and offered me a ride. I made it with time to spare.
While I was waiting at the School of Music, an Asian couple walked up, trying to get into the building. They introduced themselves as Mun (sp?) and Yuri, two Korean grad students from Kentucky. I don’t know if my encounter with them yesterday is supposed to lead to something in the future, but I’ll just let God handle that. Anyway, Yuri had a piano audition for the graduate program in the Hugh Hodgson School of Music yesterday, so they arrived a little early so she could practice and figure out where she needed to go. And I’m glad they did, because I got to be one of the first to welcome them to UGA, and if/when Yuri gets into the program, they won’t be completely alone when they start here in the fall.
And then the UGA Lady Dogs basketball team beat the Florida Gators in an amazing turn-around. I’m not exactly sure how that glorified God, but as long as God knows, I don’t need to. Haha.
So… yeah. I’m thankful for all the simple pleasures that filled my day yesterday. Sometimes it’s the little things that glorify God the most. So “give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” (1 Thessalonians 5:18).

Maybe this will be a good reason for you to get involved with international ministries. I'm sure there are several on campus.
