College Life

So far so good.

I'm tired of telling people my name. A big thank you to all of you who know my name. It means a lot to me now. Seriously. Meeting so many new people is exhausting. I'm ready for some real, deep, honest friendships here on campus. I think I was spoiled with that in Waverly. THANKS guys...

Wheaton is a great place. I'm so glad God put it in my path. I'm so thankful for what He's doing in my life and I'm excited about it! I'm tired of orientation and for once in my life I'm actually excited for class to start. I miss so many people but I'm enjoying branching out. It's very different here. I feel like I'm in way over my head at times but I keep reminding myself that God brought me here and He will sustain me. This is pretty scattered but that's alright. I love my bed. It's so cozy and soft! The only problem is my sheets. I didn't wash them before I put them on and they smell like chemicals. It will be hard to change them b/c I lofted my bed REALLY high. So for now they'll stay. 

Today Mason and I had our first week of 'church shopping.' It was interesting... We went to a church that is right next to campus and is easy to get to. It's called College Church but it's not affiliated with the school. It was very formal and traditional. The sermon was great and the choir was amazing but it didn't feel like a place I'd ever be able to really connect with the people. For me, it wasn't a place I could really seek God. It was a wonderful church and I know it's exactly what some people need but it just wasn't for me. I really enjoyed seeing the way other people approach God. It was very far from the way I approach Him and was eye opening in many ways. I can't wait to try another place next week! 

I'm learning a lot.
