Happy Valentine's Day!Okay, okay, I know I'm a week late. But I just had to say it, because Valentine's Day is my favorite minor holiday. To all you cynics out there: Yes, it is a holiday and yes, it is worth celebrating. It's a day dedicated to love and friendship and pink and flowers and chocolate and hearts; what could be better? ♥
My Valentine's day was fantastic. Did I have a special valentine? You betcha! ;) As I mentioned, my best friend Kira came all the way out from California to visit me last weekend. She flew in early Saturday morning, and left late Tuesday evening. We had a phenomenal time. We took lovely pictures, danced to crazy songs, "played" (ie. me watching Kira play and sing
) music, took walks, laughed at crazy things, went to a dance, and got very little sleep. But for all the fun things we did, my favorite part was simply having Kira here, showing her around my school, introducing her to my friends, and taking her to my classes. It was good to integrate her into my life here. Even though our lives the past 6 months have had very little in common, I have been so blessed to be able to stay close and connected with her. She is truly a life-long friend.

She is truly a life-long friend.One of my favorite things about Kira is how she can bring out a side of me that some people don't even know I possess. She makes me be more bold and outgoing than I usually am. Somehow, having her here last week gave me a new perspective on college. She let me see the fun and excitement there is in this college adventure. All the sudden, I can look at my experiences as enjoyable, instead of merely a few months to live through before I can go home.
I'm also becoming more involved in my church. I will start helping in the 2s and 3s c
lass once a month, and I just got back from my first night at AWANA's. It feels good to get involved somewhere other than PHC. I'm also developing closer friendships here at school. and if all this weren't enough, Kira is seriously considering transferring here in the Fall. God's blessings are abundant.More challenges and opportunities loom on the horizon, but for the first time since coming to college I can say, I'm content. God has me where He wants me, and I will serve Him to the utmost of my ability.
God is good.
Yay! I am so happy to hear that you are content! And I am so thankful you are getting involved at the church. That will bless others and make you feel more fulfilled :) You are making a life for yourself out there, might as well enjoy it! Of course I miss you, but this is what we raised you to do - go out and make a life of your own, to serve God and enjoy His blessings. Good job!
