Hey y'all! Sorry I haven't posted in quite a while. I've been super busy with school, Cru, church, & hanging out with friends, but I'm back & I'm gonna try to post at least once a week. Today's topic is a littler more serious than most. At my college last week, there was a gun threat written on the walls of one of the bathrooms in a building on campus (I'll post a link to the article explianing the threat more). The message on the bathroom stall said, "BRINGING GUN TO HERE 2-11-15 DEAD STUDENTS". I've always seen it on t.v. but never would have thought that it could happen at EKU. Before this I had felt very safe on campus, even while walking in the dark on the way back from class or Bible Study. This threat though has made me very anxious and scared. I'm scared that I will be blind-sided & shot at. Even worse, I'm scared that others could be injured or killed. We don't know who wrote the threat or who is being targeted. The campus has cops patroling the whole campus, but that still doesn't ease my fear. It all goes back to my post about my worst fears. Not knowing what will happen is part of my fear of the unknown. No one knows how to react to the situation. This could be real, or it could be a host. They could be targeting a religion, race, gender, sorority/fraternity, or just randomly. My only saving grace is that I have a relationship with God, & I know I'm going to Heaven. But what does that mean for those who haven't been saved? They could be shot & killed & never have the opportunity to hear the Gospel & accept it. I wish that I could be more bold to share my faith in public & to reach others, but my fear always keeps me from speaking up. Another thing that scares me about this whole situation is that campus is not closed, but some people will still be going to class or just walking out & about. I think that it was smart not to close, but they send updates that could very well be reaching any of the shooters, which could make them decide to change the day & time of the shootings. There's also the thoughts of being scared for no reason, or not being more cautious of what could happen. The whole thing just rubs me the wrong way & makes me way more uncomfortable than I should be. It's all in God's hands what happens though & all I can do is pray for safety. That's all I have for this week y'all. Keep our campus in your prayers this week.
Live for God & Love for Music!
