Guess Some People Just Aren't Cut Out for College Life...

Wow.... I can't believe I just finished my first week of college at The University of Montana... It's been an interesting road, filled with several challenges with many yet to come, I'm sure... but I feel just as sure as ever that this is right where God wants me to be :)

I have been working toward this vision that God planted in my heart almost 2 years ago and now I'm finally seeing it happen. I have a dorm room and a room mate who I am excited to get to know and I am moving in officially this Labor Day! Classes have been close to perfect as well with a British Lit, and an American Lit class, along with Latin- another (pseudo dream of mine) Well, most classes at least except for math ;) but even in that God has brought some wonderful connections with other students at The UM.

Today I got the chance to see some people I've known from my past, friends that have sorta faded into the background, the ones that you see the facebook posts but never really talk to anymore... and then some who you still chat with every now and then :) I love how God uses every single thing for His glory... never wastes anything. Love the challenges the homework brings and the discipline and the opportunity... hard to put into words the grandeur of this new season of my life and the adventures that are in store...

Best part of it all: After a week of school, I am beginning to connect with amazing Christian people in the Chi Alpha ministries and expand my circle. Never realized how big of a promise it was when God told me 4 years ago when I moved into the Missoula area from Hamilton that He was going to "Bless me and enlarge my territory." I'm blown away at what He's doing with it all, and I know He's not finished yet. Talking to a couple of the girls from the Chi Alpha group tonight made me very excited to see that there are other people on campus that share my vision of bringing real life changing encounters of a loving God to people at UM. To really try to walk as Jesus did in the best way we know how and continuing to grow and build one another up along the way. I'm seeing God's promises being fulfilled over and over again, along with the move happening in my family as I chase after God's purpose for me.

It's been interesting to see several of my friends facebook status's about not liking college and I guess it's true that some people are not cut out for college life, as for me.... I love it! ♥
