college

10/15/2008

Life is new, kinda scary.
It's not as bad as I thought it would be though.
College has both exceeded and not reached my expectations.

I honestly did not expect to enjoy myself the first few months, I thought it was going to be a long, lonely journey for a while and that I would have to "pay my dues" as a freshman.
Praise God it hasn't been like that, I have friends, godly friends :)

I know that sounds dumb, but well, I really did not expect to have more than a few acquaintances here and there.
Instead, God has blessed me with a few good friends that have a passion to serve Him also.

He has also blessed me with a church. I was pretty terrified at the thought that I had to go "church hunting", I've never done that before! I have always been appointed a church to go to; and well come on, finding a church like FBCW?, now that's a challenge! Nonetheless, the first Sunday I was out scouting out churches, I found Upper Room Fellowship. It is a house church or an organic church, and I already feel as if I had a second family here in South Carolina :). They are all very genuine people, also trying to figure out what God's will is for their life, and every Sunday ( and every time I see them around campus) I am encouraged by them.

I am simply amazed at how much God has worked here.
Even in the way I decided on NGU, my major, my advisor, my roommate. Every thing has been of God!

Now for the classes, oh no.
That is the part that has not really lived up to what I expected.
I'm not saying they do not meet a certain academic standard, they're just... boring. Very, very boring. They are all GenED classes, so I suppose it is expected, but I just cannot wait until may day is filled with wonderful design, art, and theology classes! For right now, I guess I'll settle for the regular math and english.... ughh.
