College is crazy...

I wish I had time to post more. Maybe tonight, after homework, I’ll be able to. But this’ll have to be short.

College is…interesting, to say the least. The first couple of days I kind of went into it with a really gloomy, “well, I guess I’m going to survive…I hope” attitude, and really struggled. But then on Monday I was talking with my Mom about it, and I started to get a glimpse I think at a root of my despondent feelings…something I’m not sure if I was completely expecting and something I don’t have time to write about right now. But suffice it to say, since then God’s been helping me to approach my college with a better attitude, and I look forward to what He’s going to do.

One final thought that I heard in passing last night at a cookout for a campus ministry that my church has strong connections to. As you approach your school, consider yourself a missionary first—a student, second. I just heard that statement in a passing conversation I wasn’t part of, but it remains in my mind. Salt and light…that’s what I need to live as today. ‘Cause that’s what Jesus said we are, not just what we’re supposed to be like. Will Galkin pointed that out to me (not the bold statement, the other one). Anywho…have a great day!

LIVE IT! LOVE IT! BLUE!

Just felt like I needed to let out some Blue spirit there.

Now I Have a Blog

I really didn't want to have my first post just say, "So now I have a blog", but I'm starting school tomorrow and I still have a lot to get in order. So, now I have a blog. Check back and see if I have anything profound to say soon. (Ha!) GO TORNADO CREEK!

Oh, all right, I guess I'll say a little more...have you ever read Nehemiah 9? It's AWESOME! A friend recommended it to me, and I still just have to stop sometimes after reading only the first five verses just to get it into my head. Anyway, it's very encouraging, especially as I consider my own history and my future at college, to remember God in His awesomeness and grace. Great passage.

Peace! All LCs are welcome here! Leave a comment if you want.
