Back at School

Back at school and in the snow! Not as fun as I expected, having to wait almost 3 hours at the airport and then drive 20 miles an hour on the highway with a car full of people I didn't know. Maybe the snow will stick? Not likely...seeing that it is barely freezing temp right now. But it was fun watching it fall all over the place, and maybe I'll get to walk to class tomorrow in it :). On the bright side, I feel like I get a fresh start this quarter, with a job and a car and classes that I'm actually interested in. Hopefully I'll make some more friends! I was quite the wreck when I left home today, mostly when I left Seth's house. This will be the longest stretch of time we will go without seeing eachother, 6 weeks, it should'nt sound so terrible, but it really does sound totally awful right now and that's all I can think about. As I sat in church this morning I opened to something very enlightening, Psalm 119, the lengthiest psalm of them all has beautiful verses that pretty much summed up how I was feeling at that moment. I need to constantly remember while I'm here that I am not alone, that I have a God who loves and cares for me right HERE, and I live like my entire life is at home. Though it feels sometimes like I am alone, God is everywhere...and I constantly forget that. My goal for this quarter is to not so much regret for coming to SPU but to find out why God has placed me here and what I can do to serve Him on this campus. I shouldn't dwell solely on how I disagree with the theology of the school but rather find a place of truth somewhere on campus where I feel that God truly dwells. Well, tomorrow is a new start, new meal plan and everything! I will update on how my new set of classes go...Politics,History,Christian Scriptures, and Romans...PHEW! quite the difficulty I feel coming my direction. And I have my first day of work tomorrow! So exciting!


Psalm 119
I cried with all my heart,
answer me O Lord
I will observe Your statutes.
I cried to You, save me
And I shall keep your testimonies.
I rise before dawn and cry for help,
I wait for Your words
~
Revive me,O Lord, according to Your lovingkindness.
The Sum of Your word is truth,
And every one of Your righteous ordinaces is everlasting
