Psalm 133:1-3

Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity! It is like the precious oil on the head, running down on the beard, on the beard of Aaron, running down on the collar of his robes! It is like the dew of Hermon, which falls on the mountains of Zion! For there the Lord has commanded the blessing, life forevermore. 

Psalm 133:1-3 (ESV)

Growing up, I lived in a house with my mom and dad and little sister. When I moved into the dorms when I went to college I lived with three other girls. When I moved into my own rented home, I lived with one other girl. The only time I ever shared a room was when my sister and I decided we wanted to bunk our beds. Coming here to IGNITE I knew I would be sharing a room with at least two other girls. It intimidated me a little bit because I just wasn't sure what it would be like. What if people want to go to bed really early and I want to read? What if I want to go to bed early and they keep me up? What if I can't sleep and I just have to lay there in silence so I don't wake anyone up? It all sounded really complicated but I trusted God would get me through it.
Once I arrived I realized that our living situation wouldn't be as hard as I previously thought. Sure, those issues I wondered about are still there but I figured out one thing that really helped me though: I just had to stop thinking about myself and start thinking about my roommates. If I wanted to stay up later, I would find somewhere else to read, or compromise and just go to bed. If I wanted to go to bed earlier, I would just try to sleep while they were up. If I can't sleep in the night, I would just use the time to lay in bed and pray. There is always a solution as long as I don't make everything about myself. Not only does this attitude work in our bedrooms, it works everywhere. This is the manner in which we can achieve God's desire to "dwell together in unity."
