Wow. It sure has been a while since I have updated. So much has happened in the past month or so. I'm not sure I'll be able to put it into words.
I have come to expect that every semester will bring something new and different. However, I struggled more with this change than I have in a while. I don't usually cry over things, but during RA training, I would go back to my apartment and feel so lonely. I wish I could see what I looked like from another person's point of view. I was brought to a point of breaking. I love these times because I know that I have no where to turn but to Jesus. I know that I am not capable of living on my own. My life without Him is nothing. My relationship with Christ during this time was challenged. I just wanted to hold on to what I couldn't have. I had to come to a point of complete surrender, and when I did, I felt such peace. I know this is exactly where God has me this semester. I am ready for the radical life change that is before me. Bring it.
In other news, I finally found a text book that I enjoy reading. I made muffins for breakfast this morning. I had a back to school dance with my roommates yesterday.
Okay, I know I'm kind of all over the place, but I haven't talked about Welcome Week yet. Oh man, I love freshmen. I love looking at the excitement in their eyes. I love remembering what that was like for me. I love being able to share advice with them. I feel so... amazing when I am in that type of situation where I can be crazy and still share the love of Christ with people. I love leading that type of thing. I just had the feeling that I want to quit my job so that I can do more with ministry. Whoa.. that would be hard. I need to pray about that. Ok, now I have lots to think about......
