Packing....moving.....unpacking.....new hometown......new job...o BOY!
So many wonderful changes!!
I LOVE the people! I was more comfortable than a long time in the room full of staff, faculty, and administrators this morning, even though I didn't know them. Their quirky, corny sense of humor, eccentricities, and passion were all familiar without having officially met them yet. It kind of felt like being amongst my own kind! LOL
Some things stay the same......like forgetting I changed my key ring and taking the wrong one with me to a meeting and forgetting until 10pm.....and having to be taught how to break into my apartment by another staff member....we only messed up two crank mechanisms in the process.....ARGH!!!!!
Still not unpacked. Need my furniture. Want a piano. Badly.
I have eaten the same thing for 3 days. O the joy of singleness. Hillary needs to get here with that studfinder.......har har. Bad joke. However, I really do need to figure out some bathroom shelving so it isn't all vanity....sorry another bad pun.
Now, to prep for the morrow and unpack a bit more!
God's Glory

A "Glimpse" of PASSION

Ready to Explode!!!
Now let's see.....to recap:
I spent all of LAST week (literally 4th to the 11th) sick with a miserable gastric bug. I've never had anything like that in my LIFE!! I lost 10+lbs that week alone and could eat literally nothing. :( I couldn't miss class because I have a fantastic teacher who decided to have 4 finals in his class instead of one. WooHoo!! The whole ordeal left me weak enough that I couldn't walk and talk at the same time because it winded me. :( Thankfully that is now behind me and I feel great! :) Thank you to allllll my great friends who took care of me and were patient with me in that time frame!
Our small group fellowship has had some increased interest and we are growing! YAY!! Slowly, yes, but growth none the less! I've been so blessed! It makes me wicked excited to see what is to come in the following semester! God is just showing up and filling my life! Honestly, there are no words to describe it!
I don't know if I had mentioned in an earlier post or not but I had really been hoping to be able to attend PASSION 2010 this January (1st through 4th) but my finances have taken a beating the past 6 months and there was no physical way I could afford the $600 it would take for travel, lodging, ticket and food. I finally came to peace with that and just decided to try again next year. On the 4th one of the students came running into my apartment (it is usually like Grand Central Station in here! haha) with news that one of the colleges I'm attending was offering the whole thing to students for $150 because their Student Senate was covering a big chunk of the cost! I my word!!!!!! I almost cried! How incredible is that!?!?!?!?!?!? I am now registered and will be attending PASSION 2011!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!
I cannot explain to you what it is like to know that I'm going!! Honestly it is just mind blowing!! God is just incredible! I don't know how I can possibly forget that so easily, but I do. Last year's conference was such an incredible blessing and helped my spiritual growth by leaps and bounds. I've been riding that wave of excitement now for about 3 days since I found out I really was going. I wish I could take every 18-25 year old I know but most of them, like me, are broke and can't afford to go.
One of my best friends arrives tonight! I haven't seen him since June and hadn't expected to see him for up to 5 years, but he was able to get a quick leave and came to visit some friends and family before he is gone for a while! I'm sooo excited!
I am so blessed, it blows my mind.
Why me?
I don't know.
