It has been quite awhile since I have posted on here. Goodness.....I said I wasnt good at posting alot, but it's for sure that I'm not. Well, the new week is about to begin and I'm not exactly sure if I am ready for it too, yet. I must admit that these past few days have been quite stressful. The work load has been absolutely exhausting. It's amazing that so many tests, papers, and projects are all on the same week. Crazy! I've never been so ready for spring break in my life! haha :) But, I do not want to complain about everything because I'm alive and well. The Lord is good and He will give me the strength to make it through another intense week.

     Well, there has been something on my heart lately. I am burdened to really get involved in something. I just have a desire to do something for God, and right now I feel like all I do is study and sleep. lol Sounds depressing, I know, but I want to do more for God. I would love to be used by Him in some way, maybe through service or through encouraging others. I don't know......my heart is longing for some area to serve in. I know that I should not be worried about it, but devote it to prayer and ask God what He would have me to do. He has given me this desire, and so I want to be faithful to use it for Him. My mind goes back to the verse that I found when I decided to come to Liberty- "For you brethren have been called to liberty. Only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another." Galatians 5:13 I want to serve others for the Lord here, and I am waiting for an opportunity to do that. It's hard to be patient sometimes, because everyone would love to know their purpose, you know?

     I still feel so blessed to be here and I am so thankful that the Lord has been faithful in keep His promises. Sometimes I still cannot believe that I moved so far away from my comfort of home and my family.......sometimes I want to be back home with my family..I won't lie, but I have NO doubt that this is exactly where the Lord wants me. It's hard when I hear my family going places without me and I see things here that remind me of my childhood at home and all the memories there. I'm so stinkin sentimental...it's ridiculous! lol I don't think I'll ever get over it. hehe But, it's okay. At least my family knows that I miss them, and I won't forget where I came from.

     Well, the computer lab is about to close, so I will have to wrap this up. I hope that you all are having a wonderful weekend and that you have a blessed church service tomorrow. Never forget the blessings that God has granted you. He cares about every DETAIL in your life......even the small things. Commit your entire being to Him and see what He does through you. :) May the Lord bless your week and give you true joy and peace in Him!! Love you all.

 Once again, the Lord has been faithful through yet another week. I never knew college would be so much fun. hehe Honestly.....I love going to class. Like, yeah, I get tired some, but I enjoy going to class each day. :) Yeah....I will be honest. "OH YES, CLASS AGAIN TODAY" is not my first thought as I wake up each morning. But, theres something different about being here.....something enjoyable and exhilirating about this place.

This week was especially really exciting for me. It was Spiritual Emphasis Week here at LU and it was amazing! We had it from Monday to Wednesday every night and then twice for convocation. Monday night was just...inspiring because so many people came to the Lord that night. I was kind of discouraged before the service actually began. I wanted God to speak to me in a real way......I wanted to really feel His presence on my life. And, through that service, I realized that it wasn't all about me. I felt God in that service through other believers. Seeing them come forward, either rededicating their lives or coming to the Lord for the first time, awakened my heart. The presence of the Lord was in that church, and I had an overwhelming sense of His grace and mercy in my own life. What an experience!

Things have gotten a little more busy around here. I have quite a bit more work to do and alot more required of me. lol It's going good, though. I just took my first test today, and I feel like it went well. So...we shall see. haha It's always kind of nervewracking taking the first test in a class.

I've seen a few snowfalls while I've been here. They're just so gorgeous! You can definitely tell that Daniel and I are from the deep south because whenever it snows we always take the LONGGG way around the building just to walk in it. haha :)

    Well today completes day 4 here in VA. Wow.......has it been interesting or what! I'm just so excited to see what the Lord has in store for me here. It's such a scary, breaktaking, exciting, awesome new adjustment. My life changed drastically in a matter of a few days. It's really weird but so good at the same time. I was definitely NOT ready to move so far from my family, but I know this was a road that the Lord had prepared. So, that definitely made it easier. I'm awaiting the days of classes starting.....kind of nervous considering I've already gotten lost 3 times. But don't laugh. If you were in my shoes......you would too. :)

    Today was actually a pretty busy day....which I hadn't really planned on. Only one thing for transfers was scheduled and it was only an hour...so I was pretty much planning on a slow day. But, I met a really sweet girl in the class, and went with her to get her computer fixed and then ate lunch with her and a few other girls. That was really a good experience. Met some new faces and what appeared to be some wonderful godly girls! There faces just glowed with Jesus. Incredible!

   Tonight I went to IHOP with some girls from my dorm. It was really fun and they were all so sweet. It was cool because I've never eaten at an IHOP before. It was really really good, so that was an awesome experience. :) I was happy to meet some new faces, too.

   Well, the good news is Daniel finally comes tomorrow..so I'm really really excited! :) That will be awesome to see a familiar face. And what better face to get to see again! haha Well...until next time....
