Hello my wonderful readers! I hope all is well :) Today I started my first day of my second semester of college. There are several things that have been running through my mind since I came back (yesterday)... I know you're probably thinking that it's too soon for me to be sad about leaving and blah blah but let me just tell you!
So first off, I think that being home for a month I got so attached to my family and friends there. I was able to literally spend every waking moment with my loved ones and those that I have grown up with. Familiarity. I have lived in the same town my whole life and known a lot of the people I'm best friends with since kindergarten. Part of me will always be there in Lubbock. No matter where God takes me, no matter where I end up, Lubbock is and always will be my home sweet home.
~Small fun fact about myself: I HATE CHANGE~
I am one of those people that hates when things change. If I could have my own way, I would have my life planned out to a T and do things according to that. Well hey guess what, life happens. Life throws things at us that we cannot control. Things that are put in our life so that we are required to become stronger and see that God will carry us through anything.
~A small fun fact about life: GOD IS ALWAYS THERE~
As I sit here typing my thoughts away, I am texting someone who means the world to me. My grandma. As I tell her everything that I'm feeling and going through, she reminds me to just take time each day (especially today) to talk to God. To spend time in the word and let him speak to me. I know that once I do (which I should already be doing), I will see that he hold my life in his hands and he will make me stronger and more confident in my faith through all I do.
I've been EXTREMELY emotional since I left to come back to school yesterday. I mean seriously. So emotional. I pretty much cried the whole way back and most of today. But... yes of course there is a but and it's a good but :) I am blessed that I have made two of the best and closest friends here at ACU. Being able to share time with them and just talk makes my heart happy. I laugh the hardest with them and we never fail to have wonderful conversation. I simply cannot express how much they mean to me and how much they have impacted my life.
My lovely friend Taylor, we met over a weird twitter comment and have been best friends ever since. She brings so much joy and laughter into my life. Without her I honestly don't know if I could do this whole college thing. I am so thankful that I have given the opportunity to become best friends with her and be able to share our faith together and go to church and just simply laugh until we cry.
My dear friend Abbi, I had the wonderful pleasure of meeting Abbi through Taylor and it has definitely been a blessing. Abbi, you have taught me so much about my faith and showed me what it looks like to be completely in the word and in awe of Christ. You are such a strong believer and I look up to you for spiritual guidance. I am so thankful that we are such good friends and have the same love for Breakfast at Tiffany's!
Now, bear with me a second, but in these few moments that it has taken me to think and write this blog, a sense of peace has overwhelmed me. I feel calm and like I could conquer the world! Okay well maybe not conquer the world but I do feel much better. Weird huh?
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us." (Hebrews 12:1)
