LIFE

I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. I know both how to have a little, and I know how to have a lot. In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of being content- whether well-fed or hungry, whether in abundance or in need. I am able to do all things through Him who strengthens me.-Philippians 4:11b-13

As I’m sitting, sipping on coffee, listening to some music with the UT-Alabama game on in the background (Go Vols), I realized that I haven’t blogged in a month. It’s not that I haven’t had the time, I’ve just simply forgotten. I have had significant amounts of down time, surprisingly, but everything else in my life has been really crazy. So, I have decided to update you on my life. Read it, or not, it’s your decision.

First, God is good. Me, not so much. I cannot comprehend the faithfulness of my Father, even though mine is wavering. I have been blessed with great, God-fearing friends, understanding professors, and a great college. But I have found myself thinking about my “Jesus-quota.” One of the dangers I have found that I encounter by attending a Christian college is that you are more likely to get into mundane, or lukewarm, Christianity. Because I have a chapel requirement, everyone goes to church, and there are two big Christian organization services on Mondays and Wednesdays, it is so easy to get caught up in attending things and forget the relationship with Christ part. It’s still a daily struggle to keep Christ first.

Next, I have been home once since August 19^th. It is so weird not being home, but I feel like I have adjusted pretty well. I won’t be back home till Thanksgiving break, but I’m ok with that. College is amazing (the waking up and going to class part, not so much, but don’t worry, I haven’t skipped any classes yet), and God is good, so, though I miss home, it hasn’t been that hard of an adjustment to college life.

Have I mentioned God is good? Because He is.

That’s about it, though. I know it’s brief, but my life has pretty much been classes, homework, God, practicing, church stuff, and being attacked by squirrels. Oh, and football. Lots of football. And, for those that are wondering, I am not exaggerating about the squirrels on campus. They are ridiculous. And there is one that was making duck noises outside my window last week. Check out the video on facebook if you don’t believe me. Life is crazy, but God is good. I think that summarizes my college semester so far.

The LORD bless you

and protect you;

the LORD make His face shine

on you,

the LORD look with favor on you

and give peace.

-Numbers 6:24-26
