Yes, I realize I have not posted in forever. That was one of my big worries when I started the blog, but I just honestly haven't had any time at all to post. I've been doing homework since I woke up today, and I don't feel so great right now. So, I'm taking a break from homework and all the other crazy things going on in my life right now to write about it all.
Since I posted last, soooo many things have happened. I don't think I'll be able to remember them all, but I'll attempt to recap a few! I've moved into my new apartment (which I love!), been on a retreat to Doe River Gorge, had a few Class '15 events,consumed 6 gallons of milk in a total of 3 weeks with my roommate, and made a lot of new friends! God is so good!!
I just love my new apartment. It feels so "homey". Eventually, I will have pictures. I promise. My mom is making the quilt that I'll be using on my bed and it isn't quite finished yet, so I'm waiting on the finished product before I put pictures up! I love living with Jessi this year. Between her and her sister, there is never a dull moment here. Her sister, Jenny, basically lives with us part time, but that's okay with me cause I love her to death. They both always have me laughing about something. Since we moved in, we have consumed a total of 6 gallons of milk. In 3 weeks. We've also been out of milk for two days now, and we're kinda going insane. Every night while we're doing homework we both have a glass of Nesquik, and it's amazing!
We also consume quite a bit of Kool-Aid here. I don't even know how many packs of that we've been through, but I know it's a lot!
The Well ministry teams always go on a retreat to Doe River Gorge at the beginning of the school year. Doe River is one of my absolute favorite places in the world. Our project this year was so neat! Long story short, we basically turned a bottle into a lamp while also being reminded of how we've been remade in Jesus and forgiven of our sins. So cool! I knew exactly where I wanted to put the lamp when I got home with it - right beside my bed. So, that's where I put it and every night before I go to bed, I turn my lamp on and my big light off while I do my devotion. It's even more of a reminder of how much God loves me while I'm having my quiet time!
Class '15 stuff is going wonderfully so far! I love it, and can't wait to see what the Lord is going to do in the lives of these freshmen this year. Last night we had cupcake wars with them. We were all beyond nasty by the time we left, but it was so much fun. I felt super gross, but I felt SO clean after about a 20 minute shower.
The Lord has placed some wonderful new people and friends in my life in just the 3 weeks that I've been back at school. It's so neat to see how He brings friendships together. Last week, James talked about friendships at The Well and that is when I really realized how blessed I am to have such amazing friends and family. I know that seems like such a cliche thing to say, but it really is true. Jessi is a wonderful accountability partner and I love that. Some friendships have faded, but that's okay too. It's not exactly something I like, but I'm trusting that it's all part of God's plan for me.
Basically, even though my life has been crazy out of control busy lately, I love my life and the people in it. :)
