I survived my first week at NU. An amazing and very satisfying feeling. I am officially an university student. Goodness. Crazy. Awesome.
Classes are good. I absolutely love my Christian Thought and Old Testament Lit. and History classs (the class not so much the homework..). I love learning about the Bible and how to be a better Christian. I love, love, love chapel and getting together with fellow believers (a.k.a. my classmates!) and worshiping God three days a week. I love my floor and the girls on it :) I've met some amazingly crazy girls and I can't wait to meet more!
Honestly, the first couple days of being at NU were frankly frightening. Sitting in my dorm room alone, not really sure what to do (I didn't have the homework I do now, which preoccupies most of my afternoon...) it was very imtimidating. I finally realized I had to come to this place where I was just there, sitting in my room, listening to music, wishing I had someone to talk to face to face when it dawned on me: I have God. He is my friend. It was an incredible realization. That no matter if I have friends or not, He is always by my side. He is always there to talk to me and "chill" with me. This feeling filled me with hope, and soon after I was hanging out with a couple girls on my floor in the caf (caferteria..) talking and laughing, having a great time. God does listen to our prayers, but it's only when we realize He is everything that He will answer them. At least that's this writer's humble opinion. That it's only when we are SMALL that He can make us BIG. When we realize He's all we have, that we will have SOMETHING.
Crazy, eh?
