My first post!

So I did it, I finally got around to create this blog I have been wanting to make forever. Since I have been SOOOOO busy here at LU i thought I would start one so everyone could see what I have been up to and what I am doing throughout the day so come back often, I will try to write in it about everyday or so.

LIFE HERE IS AMAZING! I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVVVVVE IT HERE! The classes are awesome, all my teachers are pretty normal, I have made LOTS of new friends and I love the campus and being busy. There is always sometime to do! Like Friday they have a movie and a late skate, Saturday they have horseback riding and tubing the river! I am doing the movie, but on Saturday I have friends coming in from out of town so that will be fun :) Also, Friday my dorm is going to the soup kitchen and the nursing home, I really want to go! I think it will be a great experience.  Then next weekend is white water rafting, which I don't think i will be doing because the thought if it truly terrifies me HAHAHAHA. :D

So for those of you who haven't heard, I have become a prayer leader on my hall :) I felt that God was leading me in that direction and it was actually an answer to prayer! I LOVE IT so far! Its a position of leadership, and thanks to GBC I now have alot of experience with that so hopefully the skills I learned there will play a big part in :) There is alot to do though! Every tuesday after hall meeting we meet in our prayer groups and I share and we discuss things, I LOVE the girls I have in my group, they are so awesome! I even made them sing a song and stuff last night, hopefully they didn't think I was too crazy. But this group is going to be really awesome, and I have alot of things planned for them this semester. Then on Wednesday I have my Prayer Leader meetings which are good, i was kinda overwelmed though today. I have a test to take and I have to write a paper on a book they gave us. BUT I do get a free t-shirt. so that was a plus hahaha.

I love the ministry here. I know some people get fed up with going to convo 3 days a week, or the dress code, or curfew....i just like to ask, then why did you come? didn't you read up on anything before you came to the school that you were paying for? hahaha it makes me laugh. But I do not mind it at all. I love all the speakers and trying to soak up more infomation about our Lord and Savior. It just amazing. I love everything here, except for maybe trying to get up to catch a bus at 7:15 in the morning with my awesome roomie Bianca. I love my roommates, Bianca and Bre, they are so awesome :)

My day today was pretty good. I got up and went to convo, I was up late talking to one of the girls in my group, she is HILARIOUS. Her name is Colleen and she has some really funny stories. So then I got up, went to convo, then walked around and got some lunch and some starbucks at the bookstore. After that I headed over and had my PL meeting and then when I was finished with that I came back and met up with Brittni, another girl in my group, and I went with her to the doctors because I told her that I wouldn't want to go alone if I had to go so I thought she could use some company :) Now I am here doing some psych homework and just writing on this thingy. :) I really miss my family, and I miss sleeping but in the end God is good, even through the awful times. In a bit I am heading out to eat with my brother dorm and then to Spiritual Emphasis Week to hear that awesome speaker! He is SO GOOD. :D

Sorry, I know this isn't very well organized and I kinda rambled, but I hope everyone has a great night.


We talked about being a disciple today in our PL class, and this was our main verse which most of you probably know:

"Therefor go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:-19-20
