Blessings!!

Whew! I can breathe! I survived the first week of college. I even made friends!

My room mate is more than I could've asked for. She helps me get up and lets me just ramble on. I could easily see her being like my sister. She's so caring and so wise! She could tell me so much about God and she loves Him with all her heart. She went through so much crap in her life. Yet, she lives out God better than I do. How is that right? I have had an easy and simple life. I should be praising God just as much as she is.... Anyway, God answered my prayers. I was so scared I was going to get a grump bum room mate. Instead I got such a happy, loving one! I can easily call her my roomy instead of just room mate.

I have my core group of friends already. It was actually really hard to leave Grace Bible College this weekend. I had to talk myself into going back home. It's so weird. A week ago I thought my biggest problem would be home sickness. Now all I want to do is be at GBC with my friends, with my family. It's crazy how it feels like I've known them forever. It's been one week and that's it. I absolutely love it. I found my place. God gave me the perfect place to fit in! :)

My classes are actually quite exciting. I don't know the last time I've ever wanted to be in class when I didn't have to. It's not that I needed something to do (trust me, I had a lot to do), but it was because the classes were so amazing. The profs are all nice and I know almost everyone in my classes. How awesome is that? I have a public speaking class that I want to speak in. That's just wrong. My writing class could be a slight breeze if I stay on my work. And all my other classes have to do with the Bible and living out God. Before every class, we pray. It's so relaxing and awesome! I can't wait to go back Monday and walk into home and be welcomed by my new family. Thank the Lord for such an amazing place!!
