Life is funny. And quick. And a lot of the time- not very peaceful.
Last semester was quick. Maybe a little too quick. I built relationships and worked harder than I ever have for school. Moving away again from my parents, relationships changed. I found a family. I found a home. I found community at school, in my house, at my church, and around RVA. It's been a true blessing.
I'm grateful- for the experiences that taught me more about myself, others, and God. The classes that I took last semester and the classes I'm currently enrolled in have taught me more than I ever thought possible. I've learned about a God of love and life, but also a God of impatience of frustration (and rightly so..those stubborn Israelites).
I'm constantly being re-affirmed about where I am in my life right this moment. As lame and cliche as it sounds, it's such a God thing .. Whether I'm being affirmed (and I'm someone that needs to be affirmed) by my roommates (thanks, Caitie), my church, or my colleagues and professors, I am learning to be grateful of where I am. It's easy to do when I'm living in a place I absolutely love.
Thanks be to God.
