Let It Be Said of Us...

Today was a pretty laid back day. I didn't have philosophy this morning because we had a furlough day, so I slept in until 9 which was nice. Math was good because a girl sitting next to me asked a million (yes that's right, a million!) questions about what we're learning, and right now I am completely lost so it helped a lot. After math I met up with Kaitlin for lunch, and when we got to the caf we sat with Jenna and Liz. Also, can I just say that today was by far the nastiest meal I've had in the caf since moving here. The salad was good, but then I made some sandwich out of "vegan bbq strips" thinking it would be healthy; if healthy is a synonym for extremely disgusting, then yes it was the healthiest thing I've ever eaten. So after a bite of that, I tried the tomato soup... Wrong choice number two. So pretty much I just had a tiny salad for lunch because by the time I finished the soup I was too frustrated to get anything else. After lunch, Kaitlin and I stopped by the post office to pick up some packages then we headed back to my room so I could change. Then Chloe joined us on our walk to the bookstore to pick up some school supplies, and on the way I stopped at the tutorial center and signed up for a math tutor (yay for finally getting help!). We headed home after that so I could study for a little bit, and then get sidetracked and end up watching sad youtube videos for about an hour. If you ever feel the need to cry, type in "soldiers coming home" on youtube and there are some of the sweetest videos you will ever see! So after I finished with all that good stuff, Kaitlin came over then Chloe came home and we got ready for bible study. It was pretty great tonight... I love listening to everyone's different interpretations of the verses we read tonight, and of course the people are amazing too! It was really cool because one of the guys stopped my suitemate and her friend (my suitemate is a different religion) and he asked them if they had any prayer requests because he wanted to pray for them. I thought that was really bold and they would just laugh and blow it off, but they actually stopped and told him a few things... I just thought that what he did was so inspiring; like you can share your faith with everyone, not just the people you know are believers. I feel like this atmosphere up here and the people I'm spending time with, are teaching me just as much as my classes are. It showed tonight when I brought Kaitlin and Chloe to tears just by telling them that I'd been praying for them. A few months ago I for sure wouldn't have been comfortable telling people that, but I just felt like it would give them reassurance for what they're going through, and they were so thankful. I'm just amazed by the way God is working in my life. (:

Oh and PS.. My momma comes tomorrow! YAY!

For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him. -Philipians 2:13 ...Exactly how I'm feeling (:
