Is this really worth what I am paying for it? Yes

Is this really worth what I am paying for it? Thats a question I have found myself asking from time to time going to small christian university, where I am running up an amount for student loans that will be around the price of the homes in my neighborhood, when I am out of school. And I would have to say yes it is worth it, not because of the education (which don't get me wrong is great), not because of a campus that looks more like a country club than college campus (which I love the beauty of more than any other place in Birmingham), or because of the Christian growth that I have had here (which is post by itself and relates this one in big ways). 
But what makes running up this bill worth it, it is the people who I get to be around daily. It is people who truly care about you and take an interest in your life and what is going on with you. The people who you can almost tell that God meant for you to meet, people who are so much like yourself and have so much care for you that are more than just fiends they are family. People who when they say I am praying for you they meant it, not just saying it to make themseleves look good or make you feel better. I can safely  say that some of the people that I am blessed beyond all measure to be around here at Samford are people who I am now thinking of in terms of could I really live with out them, and in some cases I am not sure if I could. And I really not looking forward to getting done here and trying to live without, and I honestly hope that I don't have too. That most of these people will be friends that in some way some how I am always closely connected to. 
So thats about it for now, just a little something about my family I wanted to share...and I to all of the special people  in my life (you know who you are) I am thankful that God has allowed us to walk the same path in life together. Until next time God bless...
