Christ is enough for me. Everything I need is in You.
Hey there! It's been about three good days since I've been here at college and away from home. It's definitely bittersweet to be away from home, but I'm loving all that I'm able to experience here in college - so far. I've met a lot of people and they're quite nice people. That is until you see all the sides of who they are ... and it'll come quick, I'm sure.Anyway, here's a little update on what's been going on and how I'm feeling so far ..... :)
My roommate: Everyone's always saying how nervous they are/were to meet their roommate and what not, but not me. When we settled into our room and all of our family left, I felt really ... eh, 'cause I didn't know her well enough to be "weird" with her yet. Ya know?! It's gotten better though and I've been learning a little bit about her and the things she likes. It's been good.
Hall friends: They're real cool. Like .... "out in the open, don't care what people really think" cool. And so nice, too!
Food: It ain't so bad and yeah, it'll probably get worse. I'm pretty determined to eat healthier though. :) I'm glad they have a bit of options here and there.
I'm still adjusting to this place and the people here. I know I won't have a problem with it though! Everyone is so nice and honestly, it's all about how you perceive things. I was talking to a friend and he said that he didn't want to be so reserved. I don't want to be so reserved either. I want to reach out, get plugged in, get to know the people here and yeah! It's still my Freshmen year, so we'll see. ;)
.... enjoying this cool weather.
.... loving the people.
.... looking forward to starting school.
.... relying on God in all things!
.... listening to "Christ is Enough."
.... waiting for dinner tonight.

In a week, I'll be off to college and it feels so good to say that! I never thought I'd see the end of this college application process. Praise the Lord! I've thought about college for too long and I don't think I'm as excited anymore, but I know it'll still be great. God has allowed me to attend and I'm forever thankful! I'm ready to learn, grow, and experience in all that God has stored. All glory to God in the highest!
My mom came home from work today and she found me in my room as I was packing up some stuff. She said, "I guess I'm gonna cry... everyone is leaving me." I know she's really gonna miss me. SO, I guess she wanted to spend time with me .... SO we went shopping today for some stuff for college. It was time well spent, I say. :)
So it's true, you really do learn everywhere you go! God continually teaches in the midst of wherever you are! These are just some of the things I've learned and am still learning while working with Papaya and my co-workers there. They're very nice girls!
I'm beautiful. I know this is beyond bad, but I can't help but compare myself to other girls. When I see girls come in to shop, I notice how pretty they are or how skinny they are and all of a sudden, I no longer feel "beautiful." But being pretty and skinny doesn't even come close to what beauty is. One of the girls at work wrote a little note down and put it in a drawer at the front desk so that when everyone opened it, they'd see the note. And on that note, it read; You are altogether , my darling, and there is no blemish in you. - Song of Songs 4:7 Super sweeeet!
Obedience. When we're told to do something, most times if not all, we won't want to do it. At work, we're supposed to organize and follow certain policies -- but I don't really follow them. haha! I'm even learning from obedience from my co-workers! They don't want to start run-backs after organizing, but they do anyway. They don't want to take people's bags before going into the fitting room, but they do anyway! They don't want to tell people that some items are final sale, but they do anyway! In the same way, when God calls us to do things that we don't/won't want to do - we must be obedient. He calls us to be obedient.
God's plans are perfect. Every time, I see a shirt out of place, I have a choice; either to pick it up and put it where it's supposed to be or I can leave it there when I know I shouldn't. Here's the thing, if you're on the floor, you'll typically have lots of other clothes in your hands and you need to find where they belong. So when I do decide to put that misplaced shirt back, I find that I'm lead to all the other pieces of clothing that I was supposed to put back? Is that understandable? haha. Anyway, I am usually thankful for that. :)
So you see! Open your eyes to see and ears to hear. You'll learn lots everywhere you go. :) I'm sad to say that I'll only have about 5 days left to work with these girls. I remember going to work each day and just feeling plain awkward! After a couple days though, I saw how cool they all are! haha. It's been good. I am glad to say that I'll most likely be back as a seasonal worker, God willing!
Thanks for reading, y'all!
