2 Weeks In!

it's now 2:22 am, and my room mate Eva and I are both on our laptops facebook stalking. And the pictures are HILARIOUS!!!! especially this early in the morning.

Idk why I'm even up this late. Two of my roommates are gone for the weekend, so Eva and I went to Bethel Church for their Friday night revival service. it was fantastic! Lots of prayer and healings going on :]  We then proceeded to the gas station on our way back to the dorm, and bought some snacks. The man working at the counter is going to the Bethel school, and talked with us for a bit.  Then, in the parking back at Simpson, we had a little heart to heart. It was freeing and wonderful :D  We didn't come inside until around 12:30, and we had no idea what time it was. And now, we are glued to our computer screens. At 2:30  in the morning. I haven't stayed up this late since.... the beginning of summer, I think.

Anyways, While at Bethel, I had prayer for healing in forgiving and trusting. It was VERY freeing, and I am *reminded* to forgive, of the healings that I've seen or heard, and of how much God loves me.

He loves me! Oh, how He loves me!!!  Oh, how He loves you!! He loves you <3

My roommates have labled me as crazy. I have been full of energy- idk where to put all this Joy, the Fire of His greatness in my life, and the happiness that overflows into "flapping". Flapping is SUPER FUN- I can't contain Jesus Love- He's lavishing me with His love <3     Glory to Him :]

Joy Comes With the Morning

I'm very excited for tomorrow! I have my first classes at Simpson: world civilizations and 1st year experience. Tomorrow is the first day of my college career!

In honor of this monumental momen, I drew on our mirror in the dorm room. I'd take a picture, but it won't come out very good right now, so I have to wait till tomorrow to take one and post it.  I drew it as a bit of encouragement for my dorm mates because they all start early in the morning, so I waited till they got in bed or in the shower. sneaky me hehehh!

I am anticipating tomorrow, but I don't have enough energy to blog as much as I would like on things that I've been doing here at Simpson, like the square dance, orientation, 1st year experience competitions, floor meetings in the dorm, and evening walk, and meeting new people at meal times.  Thanks for prayers from you people! I love you so much, and miss the SLO life! But not enough to go back now- time is moving forward, and so am I. These changes that have shifted in my soul are great, with Papa at my side every step of the way <3.  So, I'm off to bed. I'll try to remember to post a picture tomorrow of the mirror and of my room.         Lots of Love!!!
