At College...

So I have been here at Bethel College in Indiana since August 19th, (I think) of last year, with my twin sister Millie, who is excitedly pursuing American Sign Language interpreting. (I am going for Nursing, with possibly a business minor, in case you were wondering.) What an adventure in the most real sense of the word! Meeting great people, making new friends, studying under some amazing, caring professors...it has been pretty remarkable. It is all so new...

Everyday, I am struck with how marvelous our God is, forgiving our daily mistakes, giving us daily mercy and providing daily strength that is somehow just enough for the tasks laid before us. We rejoice together when the Lord opens new doors before us and leads the way through them. But even when doors don't open and ways don't seem clear, He is still right there next to us where we are. He is not a feeling, but a Person, the Person of all time. And the God of the universe died to pay my ransom, rose again triumphant and walks beside me here at school. Wow.

Even when I just breathe prayer to Him in the rush of everything, He answers faithfully and gives me peace. The Lord is teaching me so much and I know He will teach you too if only you'll ask Him...and keep your ears open....


Missing home but knowing I am where I should be!
