The Work He's Started

Okay, so it's been a while. And a lot has happened.
After I wrote my last blog about my "firsts," I experienced my first earthquake. Ha. It was crazy. I didn't really know what was going on, but after it was over, I registered what actually happened.

Um, I've been just getting into the swing of things, basically, over the last few weeks. It's been an adjustment getting used to all of my classes and new professors, but then again, isn't that what usually happens at the begining of a new sememster? I've also just been getting used to all the changes in my life. Moving and getting settled in a new room, getting used to a new job, making new friends, searching for a church home, etc.
I'm really enjoying my classes so far. I'm learning so much valuable information. And God is teaching me a lot about what I thought I knew...because it turns out I don't actually know very much. Haha. So that's been a good lesson to have now, before I get too far into the semester. So I've been approaching every opportunity with openness, seeing what God can teach me.

Flag Football started last Saturday. And it's amazing! My team, the LolleyGaggers, lost our first game by one touchdown. But that's not bad considering we didn't have any practice really first, and the other team was together last year. So, we did pretty well. Our defense is really strong, but we still have A LOT of work to do on our offense. I'm playing both. I'm a rusher on the defense and the ball snapper/qb defender on the offense. It's a lot of fun, and I'm so glad that I'm playing. Plus, it gives me something to do on Saturday besides homework, which is always a good thing.

I'm still searching for a church home. I've visited a couple really great churches, and I'm getting closer to start narrowing them down. I'm excited to get plugged in with a local church and start growing with the people around me. It will be a great day when I figure out where God wants me.
Um....not much else is really going on here. Like, really. I know that sounds really wierd that I'm not doing much, but classes kinda take up all my time. haha.
OH! David Platt spoke in Chapel yesterday, and, OH MY WORD, the message he gave was incredible. God spoke directly to my heart. It was about 4 temptations we are going to face while we are involved in ministry based off Exodus 32:1-6. I would encourage you to listen to the message online, because it was great.

God has been working in my heart and in my life over the past month, basically, that I've been here. He's been showing me things, shaping my heart,  and changing the way I look at things. I knew that I was supposed to come here because this was where God was going to really be working in my life. But I never thought He would have started to work as quickly as He has. It's been amazing to see. And I know that this is just the beginning. He has so much more He wants to do. I just have to be patient and wait on Him. (Which I am totally willing to do.)
