My New Life.

Hello all. I am sorry for not posting for a couple weeks (assuming people are actually reading this, which I hope you are!). My life has gotten very busy and over the last three days, VERY DIFFERENT.

I have moved in the dorm at NU. Room 5218 in Guy Hall. I have unpacked all my things. Dined in the cafeteria, and gone through some fun but tiring orientation sessions, and the week still isn't over.

I love it here. The atmosphere and the faculty and staff are amazing. I know that I will able to grow in God SO much here, and I can't wait to delve into this new season of my Chrisitan walk. I know spiritually this is the best place I can be for me, at this moment.

I have been coping with the changes, I think, pretty well. I did have a slight melt down last night. And without giving too much of the "dramatic" details, I think it will just take some time to be able to find my place. I know I am supposed to be here spiritually, but socially I know it's going to take some time.

The girls on my floor are great! So many new faces and names, I love meeting people are hearing their life stories.

I think that's the great thing about having a roommate you don't know. You get to meet and find ou that a person who you might-have-never-even-met's dislikes, likes, passions, and their purpose. It's an awesome experience (although I knew my roommate beforehand...).

One thing I know this whole experience is going to teach me is to fully rely on God and what He has in store for me. That even in the times when I feel a meltdown coming on or feel lonely or rejected or without friends, that I can always count on Him to be around. I always have Him when I need a hand to pick me back up. It's a comforin feeling and I hold onto that with everything I have.

Readers, this is a new start for me. A start I know will end up being a great turning point in my life, even if in the meantime I feel unsure or insecure. God's plans for me are WAY greater than the circumstances of this world. I can get through this.
