Taking this new journey in life- college, I have really gotten the chance to see God's hands really work in my life. I feel so incredibly blessed. My roommate and I couldn't get along better (love you Kramer!), our suite mates are the cutest, most fun, and just completely enjoyable people to live with, despite the fact that we do not have AC and it got really hot this week, we are blessed to have MANY fans! Our floors are also hard wood so they stay pretty cool. The 4 flights of stairs may seem like a lot, but there IS a 5th floor (that is not being used)! The nights cool off a lot so we are able to sleep pretty comfortably. My professors all seem very enthusiastic and I actually ENJOY listening to them! Though I may be a little homesick (and Jordan sick!), I am genuinely happy and having a good time! All of my classes are in the same general area (in fact, two of my classes in a row are in the same room!). I have been able to Skype with my family (even Chris!) and Jordan nearly every day! Though I had tons of homework last night, I was able to get most of it done (apart from some that I am about to do right now) and still get to bed by 11! Despite the very hot weather, cross country has actually been going pretty well, and I really really like my coach and all of the girls on the team! My car is in a lovely CORNER spot in a parking lot only like 100 yards away from my dorm building. All 4 of us girls in our suite do not have the desire to partake in underage drinking/partying so we don't have to worry about that! Kramer and I both have boyfriends so we don't have to worry about either of us wanting to go "find guys" or bring guys back or any of that.
There are so many more ways I have seen God this week, and I could honestly list them all out, but it would take me far too long (and I do have some studying to do!). I appreciate everyone's prayers and I am just so excited to be here and I am really, truly thankful. Our God is SO good.
Much love!
