I started this blog over. Hey, I’m a soph-o-more now, things change. I had a fabulous weekend at Fall Getaway. Sometimes I really need time like that to be reminded of how much higher God needs to be on my priority list. I don’t know how I manage to stray so often from the fact that my life is His and His alone. I really needed to readjust my focus once again. I am so much more confident in myself and my abilities when I remember why I’m here (not that my religious convictions have anything to do with my own comfort.) Nothing else really matters. I live for Christ who lived and died for me.
This weekend was also an amazing time to meet new friends and to grow closer to the old ones. I was glad to meet so many freshman, because I remember I met a lot of my friends at Fall Getaway last year. It’s encouraging to see so many new people through whom God can work on this campus. It’s hard for me to imagine having better friends than the ones I have, the old and the new.
Another reminder I got this weekend was how amazingly blessed I am with friends who love and support me. I’m still having a hard time with my uncle’s death. I don’t really want to go into it in great detail on here, because it’s just not something I feel comfortable sharing with just everyone. Some of those closest to me have heard all about it; I’m not trying to hold it in or anything. I appreciate everyone who’s listened to me as I try to understand everything that happened and where things go from here. I got to see my mom and my older brother Saturday. It was so good to see my mom. I just needed to hold her and tell her I’m sorry and I love her. She’s actually doing really well with everything. I’m lucky she’s such a strong person. She and Davy and I went out to dinner and they cracked me up as always. I can’t wait to go home for fall break and spend time with them.
Wow I had a lot to say.
