The city was so amazing today! We did A LOT of walking, like a major amount, but it was still so fun. Spencer kind of needs to work on his navigating skills, but other than that we didn't have any problems. I didn't run into any scary homeless people and we didn't get harassed by any of the protester kind of people in front of Forever 21!
When I got home, it was about time for Bible study and James ended up coming early. So he and I got ourselves into shanningans as he likes to say. I cut a question mark out of duck tape and we stuck it to the signs on the building next to mine, which is Burgundy... So the sign read "Burgundy?"... as in "I'm Ron Burgundy?" (if you haven't seen Anchor Man then feel free to ask my brother what this means because I think he knows!). Then Bible studay tonight was out of Romans like always, but we talked a lot about how we all have unique gifts and we can't expect to always have the same gifts as everyone else, because we all work together for God, we are His body. I thought that was a good way of looking at it!
Since Bible study ended tonight, I've been in my room for the majority of the time... Trying to find some quiet away from my roommates. I love them all, but as time goes on I'm starting to see more and more just how different I am from them. It's hard for me to just sit and listen to some of their conversations... They're not the type of people I would turn to with a problem, and it sucks because I live with them. I know as a Christian I'm instructed to grow where I'm planted, but it's SO difficult. Sometimes I wish my roommates were all Christians, but at the same time I realize that I should be reaching out to them and not get trapped in the Christian bubble. I'm just sort of frustrated right now... And because it's so hard for me to hide my frustration, I am instead hiding in my bedroom until tomorrow. I cannot wait until Thanksgiving break.
There's a raging sea right in front of me, wants to pull me in bring me to my knees. So let the waters rise if You want them to... I will follow You.
