just some stuff..

I am putting off my homework..I really need to go do that..but I haven’t written in awhile and I thought I would update this..College has really got me thinking about some stuff..mainly how I treat other people..That saying, “Actions speak louder then words” is so true. I have learned that the best testimony I can have is to love others. Yeah, I may not agree witht their decisions or lifestyle choices, but that doesn’t mean I am allowed to disreguard them. I am under charge from God to love those around me.. even those that are harder to love. And I will say, I miss my friends terribly from back home, but my mission field is where I am and I am ready to go back. I miss my roommates, my friends, my sorority, and my life I have created down there. I miss being right down the hall from my buds..and being able to go over anytime day or night. I realize that even in my loneliness, I have created relationships and built friendships and found a place I can really put into practice all that I have learned. Jesus says in the Bible, “The fields are white for the harvest” and I have seen how very true this is! No, it’s not easy, but it is so rewarding and I truly believe that going away from home was the best thing I could have ever done. I have met some amazing people and learned a lot about how to live with others, how to deal with conflicts, how to sleep with the lights on, and a ton of other things that I could list forever. And I can hardly believe it’s Thanksgiving and soon my first semester of college will be over..crazy! (and a disclaimer..I am still single:) so for all my Faith friends…told you I could do it!..not that I am complaining, because I am happy with life!) hee hee…

That’s about all..I am going to go get some homework done! Talk to you all later!
