It has been two weeks since my last post and I have no idea how I let time get away from me like that. I guess just caught up in the craziness and distraction of college and college life.
I have spent this past week really thinking about college. About what it means for my future. About what it means I have accomplished in these past few years. About what it means for my present life.
College is good.
It is a lot.
A lot of learning how to live life.
A lot of learning how to handle people
A lot of learning how to react in tricky situations.
A lot of learning time management.
A lot of learning tolerance.
A lot of learning how God is stretching me.
A lot of learning thankfulness and gratitude.
A lot of learning how to manage MONEY.
A lot of learning how to make myself keep my room clean.
A lot of learning.
It is unlike anything I could have prepared for, thought up, guessed, or been ready for.
I still deal with being sick for home. I still go home most weekends. And that's okay.
In time I will not feel the need to be at my house every weekend.
In time I will get used to this being my temporary home.
In time I will get in the groove of things.
In time I will be more appreciative of Bolivar.
In time I will adjust.
But right now, I am still figuring things out.
I am still learning.
A lot.
It is just week seven of school, but already I am finding my place here.
I am sorta, kinda, maybe figuring out what studying looks like.
I am getting used to each of my different professors.
I am finding a balance in how much I hang out in the coffee shop.
I am discovering what being a college student entails.
I am adapting to the nasty cafeteria food.
I am growing in my tolerance and patience.
I am learning what living with girls is like.......
Girls.
Not any specie I have ever really been familiar with.
Yes, I am a girl.
Yes, I have girl friends.
Yes, I know what girls are like.
But living with girls.
Now that's new.
Although it is 1,938,234,424 times different than living with boys, I am growing used to it. In fact, I am starting to enjoy it immensely.
God has dropped some phenomenal sisters in my path here at SBU and I am eternally thankful for that.
I am learning,
growing,
adapting,
discovering,
transforming,
shaping into the woman I need to be for the Lord,
the daughter I need to be for my parents,
the teacher I need to be for my students,
the sister I need to be for my brothers,
the wife I need to be for my husband,
the mom I need to be for my children,
the friend I need to be for my friends,
the warrior I need to be for the Kingdom,
the me I need to be for God's will in my life.
I'm getting there.
Slowly but surely.
I'm getting there.
