1st midnight pizza. 2nd time losing my key (still unfound). 3rd coat of paper mache! 4th week of school

how i decorated the light in my room :)

My prayer before I went to school was that I would be malleable. That I would be submissive to God's leading in my life and slowly bloom into the person God has made me to be.

I'm really glad I came to SPU. I've grown a lot, at least I feel like I have. I make my bed every day, my room is clean (not that I have much of a room), I do laundry in a day (not throughout a week, with mom's help :P), I schedule, re-schedule, plan and re-plan. I work, two jobs and I manage balancing social activity and studying. But most of all, I'm finding God everyday and in lots of different ways. It's interesting. I definitely feel like I'm learning more out of the classroom than in, which can of bugs me. However, I love what I'm learning.

I wish I could better organize my thoughts for this blog entry, but just bear with me as it will be sporadic and flimsy in structure.

I want to just update you a little bit. This past week, me and some friends made HOMEMADE lanterns for our rooms, by paper mache-ing (no idea how to spell that). So I thought I would post some pictures :) I've also managed to lose my dorm key if you haven't heard. Me and my short term memory loss and LOSING things. I really don't even know where it could have gone. But $150 later and I have a new one..... great. No worries, divine intervention has occurred. God, in his loving humor, brought BRIGHTLY COLORED NEON ORANGE lanyards to the SPU bookstore. 3.99. On the front of the tag... it declares where there are made, which is odd. Even more strange, they were made in Chelsea, MI. It's a good thing God is watching out for me, or else I would have a lot of $150 keys and one less 3.99 lanyard.

I also took some pictures of the campus that I wanted to share.

this is where i live :)

this is the hill i walk up 3-5 times a day

this is my most favorite picture ever

Renew my will from day to day;
Blend it with Thine and take away, all that now makes it hard to say,
"Thy will be done."

 

I really can't wait to fall into God's purpose for my life. I have little to NO idea what it is right now, but I'm excited nonetheless. It's so hard to have so many things I love to do, so many things I want to accomplish, so I'm just going to wait and see where God puts me :) I know his plan is better than any I could have ever come up with.
