Wow...it's been about 3 months since I've last written to you all. Life has been crazy!! I was barely out of school when I last updated, but now I'm a hundred miles from home in Upland, IN at college! It's so crazy to think about still after two weeks of classes. I honestly don't know where to begin, but I do know that I want to share how incredibly blessed I am to be here.
It's just amazing to me how good God is. He put me here at Taylor University for a reason. I've made amazing friends who feel like family already. I have professors who want to see me succeed and form a relationship with me. I have a family who sends me goodnight messages every night because they love me and miss me at home. I have a brother here who looks out for me and wants me to have the time of my life. I have a God who gave all these things to me. He created a beautiful natural forest and lake here for me to see every day and marvel at His creation. God has put me in a place where I see Him alive and moving in every little thing. What more could I want?!
Today is my first birthday away from home in 19 years. I was blessed right at midnight by my awesome floormates who BURST into my room and sang "Happy Birthday" with cookies. My suitemates brought me coffee to my first class when I overslept and missed breakfast. My brother took me out to lunch and gave me the most adorable coffee mug evaaa'! My parents organized for a cookie cake and balloons to be sent to me after they sent me a birthday package in the mail. I have been blessed beyond all measure today. I know God heard my cries the other night when I was dreading being away from home today and He blessed me by showing me that I don't need to be in my physical home to be loved and celebrate.
To everyone who has told me happy birthday, smiled at me, done anything at all for me today, THANK YOU!! I can't imagine spending today any differently and being where I am today if you weren't a part of my life. I pray God blesses you as much and more as He has blessed me :)
