God has been teaching me alot about the importance of being faithful and the importance of never becoming comfortable..I have learned over the past few months that there are those few people in your life you can always count on..the very few who call you to hang out..the very few who offer a kind word of encouragement…the very few who offer to help you out..the very few who you can call at 11:00 at night to chat about your fight with your boyfriend, or your stupid idea…the very few who are willing to step out of what is comfortable into what is awkward, but right..and then there are the many who you can count on to leave you out..the many you can count on to be rude…the many you can count on to point out your every mistake..the many you can count on to never be there..never offer to help..the many who are perfectly fine with what is comfortable and complain when it is not comfortable..so why is the table so unevenly stacked? why is the gap so wide? I don’t know..and I don’t think I ever will..human nature perhaps..people are just naturally more attracted to what is comfortable. So when something is done enough and becomes comfortable it becomes normal and what feels best. I am not perfect in this area..but I can see how becoming comfortable hurts a lot of people..getting to the point of being ok with where you are hinders your own walk..and it is very obvious to those around you..so I challenge you…look at your life as I look at mine…are there areas we are comfortable in? are there ways we could change? I know I can think of many ways..can you?

I am all signed up for classes in the fall!! I am taking 17 credit hours..a big load for a first semester freshman, but my only option if I actually want to graduate in four years. It’s getting harder and harder to do that. I went down to orientation Thursday..I know, odd time to go..but I was on spring break so I figured I might as well get it out of the way. My schedule is da bomb!! There are only two days I have to get up early and even those days my first class isn’t until 9!! Whoo hoo! I love it down there too. I really think this is where God wants me. Everytime I go visit I get more excited about actually being a college student. Yes, I will be homesick and yes, I am sure there will be times I want to quit-but the best place in the world is in the center of God’s will and I truly feel a peace about this decision.
