One Month Down
It's been a whole month since I've been home and truthfully the longest I've ever spent away from home but I couldn't be happier. This place feels so much like home and it's definitely growing on me more and more as the days go by. This is honestly the happiest I've felt in a very long time. Actually, happy may be the wrong word. Happiness is dependent on circumstances at times, joy is being able to still feel content or peaceful no matter the circumstances, or so I suppose. Regardless, I do not regret for any moment following the call I heard to come here. The blessings are astounding and I finally feel purposeful and on the right track in my life, and for myself that is the greatest feeling in the world.
Now life here isn't perfect mind you. It's still life and there are still challenges. It is college so there is tons of homework (did I say tons?) and many other decisions. Not living at home has been quite the big step too and with all this added on I've really had to learn independence and what it means to time manage, keep myself healthy, get enough sleep, get my homework done and many other things. This school really pushes you academically because they want to see you prepared and they want to see you succeed and while that may feel tough in the moment I know it's going to work out for my good once I've finished this leg of the journey. Even though there is a lot of homework I'm so grateful that it all has some point toward Christ and all of these papers are helping me to reflect and grow deeper in my understanding and what I have been learning about Christ Himself. Needless to say, high tuition and lots of homework is worth it.
Another amazing thing is all of the friends I've been making and how loved and cared for I feel, from everyone. I have a wonderful group of friends, an awesome roommate, great hall and just so many supportive peers in classes and the profs themselves genuinely care about your well being and academic success all the while pushing you further toward Christ What an amazing privilege I've been given to study here.
Anyways, thanks for reading and keeping up with my life and supporting me when I'm so far away. Keep in touch and keep reading these posts!
Love and Blessings,
