So my life is soooo blessed. I attend a school that I love, I have the best job in the world (OMSP), and the greatest roommates! Wow, I don't know if I could ask for more...or even consider contemplating it. God is so good.

 So it has definitely been a while. Since this school year has started I have just been going, going, going,going. It's crazy but I am involved in some great things. I went to Cedar Bend with my core group a couple weeks ago, that was a blast and last night I went bowling through the school, it was lots of fun.

I went home this weekend for homecoming, our church gives out hot dogs during the pirade so I was there. I went into the church and went into the old sanctuary and the youth room. And just thought, I thought about my past and just how blessed my life has been. I have always known that God has blessed me more than I can imagine, but when you sit in places of your past it just really sinks in. It is a great feeling to look at just how blessed you are and what a great childhood I had. I miss my church and being involved with it, through Sunday school, youth group and just being with friends there. Those were great times. The Lord is so absolutely amazing, it makes me sad that I'm not in constant admiration and thanksgiving, but instead I start thinking only about myself and what I want or how I'm feeling at that moment. When instead I should be praising him for all that He has given me and all the experiences I have had. Just thinking about all the places He is taking me is overwhelming! He is the one who gives out hearts rest and happiness, what else should we be focising on?

Jesus I love you with all my heart!!!

 So, school has started and I absolutely love it. I have been soooo busy I can't even describe it, but I love what I am doing and where I am. I am so thankful that God has given me the chance to be in the position I am in right now. I am a PA this year, working with a group of freshman, and I'm loving it. My core group is awesome and I can tell we are going to have a great semester. I can't wait to learn so much more about each one of them. Also, I am working through OMSP. That is the Office of Multicultural Student Programs. What we do is promote awareness of the different ethnicities on campus and challenge people with their stereotypes and what not, I believe God is going to take this brand new program to great heights. Classes are fine so far. This weekend I had a load of homework, but I got through it, slowly but surely. Ohhh, how Heavenly when life is so sweet.

It has only been one week, and it is amazing. I love SAU and what it stands for, and the people that come here. Jesus is fantastic and I can't wait to see what He has for me in the future.

Lets just say that I love pride and prejudice. Yes, I already posted about it when I was reading the book, but it is soooo good. It is both my favorite movie and book, I have watched the movie about 4 times in the last 3 days, oh yes, its that good.

And I just have to add that Mr. Darcy is glorious, and I adore his character. Mmmmmm, love, love, love, love, love!!!!!  *sigh*
