Ok so I'm busy. =/ So far I've had four out of the six classes, and in general I like them... I'm just overwhelmed. I need to figure out blackboard (cause pretty much the WORLD is on there... and you don't print things out in college apparently, so it's all done on blackboard...) and then how to register and use my "clicker" for the bigger classes. Once I do that I think I'll feel better.
Today was weird... and good I think... I actually shared my "story" with someone. We had to, you see. In Enlish 110 our first assignment was to interview someone in the class and write a profile on them, and in turn they're doing the same for us. So we basically had to share our story... the biggest event in our life and how that's shaped us and is incorporated in our dreams that we have today. HOLY COW! I was totally gonna cop out and share something trivial or random, but then I decided that now is not the time to be doing that. Yeah, maybe there are times when you don't wanna open up to people and share your life story, but I don't think that I should do that as much anymore... Cause I have a God-given story, and if I truly want to be used by Him, shouldn't I share what He's done in my life? I think so.
So I shared. I shared that I lost my best and "sister" friend, Claire, in a car accident, a month before my freshman year of high school started. I shared that I'm not, nor ever will be, over that, but that I truly believe that God works EVERYTHING for GOOD for those who love Him, and that my biggest dream in life is to be able to use the trials I've had in my life, to help someone going through something similar. That's what I want to do. I want to be able to help people and see firsthand something good come out of a bad situation. Cause otherwise what's the point? I don't know.
So that was today. Kinda rough, overwhelming, and LOTS to think about and TONS more to read, but that's what I'm here for, ya know? Here to learn and to grow. Mmk, till next time!

ReplyDeleteThey really don't ease into anything at college do they? Well kudos for opening up to a complete stranger about something so personal. I'm sure once you get used to everything the overwhelming feeling will disappear. Just give it a little time and remember to breath = ].

bless you sweet girl.. for not backing away from the hard stuff, and for not forgetting Claire. I can 100% guarantee she has not forgotten about you! Even though I have 0% understanding of what actually looks like for her...someday we'll get a better view...
