Ain't No Mountain....!

It has been a whole month living here at college and I can honestly say that it has been the best month ever. There was two days where I was a little homesick, but it doesn't help that they were just really bad days. Other than that living here has been amazing. School is great and I've found some pretty "righteous" (see Finding Nemo to understand) friends who are just the best. We have decided that we are triplets though to say the least. Katy, my roommate, Chelsea, my suite mate and then finally came me. We are basically attached at the hip, except when Katy is with her boyfriend, but then again Chelsea and I don't mind because it gives us some bonding time and just be able to talk. 

I've met some really cool girls that play basketball, and I've been invited on several occasions to join them in pick up games. We have a game coming up on the 17th, aka my birthday. We are playing our rivals and I'm pretty sure that if we can get everyone to practice we are going to have an unstoppable team. We have practice tomorrow right before the boys game, so I have to practice and then quick get cleaned up to work/ record the boys basketball games! It's going to be such a long day, but I'm ready for it. 

I was actually planning on getting up to go to breakfast and get up a little earlier so I can spend more time with God. It's funny how writing a media paper for a composition class really opens your mind to the wonders anew of God. I'm writing mine about Iron Man and the struggles that he goes to in order to get justice, but we also have to relate it to the Christian walk. There was a statement in it where I made this remark "Isn't it funny how superheroes have the next step or the rest of the plan figured out, but as Christians we never know the next step and in order to find it we have to press into God?" But it's so true, the actors and actresses always have the next step, but the problem with that is, they never show the fall. As Christians or even just in general when we have a fall it's almost thrown in our faces and we are left standing alone to pick up the pieces and put it all back together, but that's not true. God is the one who is with us picking it up and putting it back, even when we feel alone, we have to be still and listen to that still small voice telling us the next step and the next part of the plan. I would just encourage you to keep pressing in and keep listening for that still small voice, because believe it or not, it's there, there's just to much going on in the background to hear it. God bless and goodnight!
