Well...i am sitting in a room at Moody Bible Institute writing this. How crazy and amazing to think of how I have ended up here. Orientation went very well-i was able to meet tons of other people, have been getting to know my roommies, and have caught up with several people that I know. (by the way...our room is AMAZING!!! We are in an old apartment complete with kitchen, large fridge, oven, cupboard, we each have our own closet, a linen closet, and our own bathroom-we also have two large rooms...one for sleeping,one for studying..and the best part is our amazing view of the city.) We have been having a blast, for example: last night we went with our brother floor (each dorm has a brother or sister floor who hang out together and do fun things..) to Giordonnos(Sp?) pizza and hung out, got to know some more people...It has been incredible thus far. Today I had two classes, and am now done for the day-they both went really well: one is evangelism and disciplemaking, and the other is Christianity and Western Culture.
You know that feeling when you know you are totally where you are supposed to be? Yeah...pretty much feeling that. Don't get me wrong..i know this won't be the easiest thing I have ever done...i know there will be struggles-but looking back over the past year and a half, i can say with confidence that God has brought me here right now, for a reason. May he be glorified in my life, and I hope that I will be used, stretched, and broken in ways I have never been before.
Have an amazing week-

Yo Roommate!
I'm so happy things are going well! You'll have to keep up with telling us what's going on because I want to know everything :) You have an exciting future ahead of you. Your classes sound like they're awesome just by the titles! I can't wait to visit you! (if it works out)

Mar,
My mom loves you - that makes you a very lucky girl!
P.S.
Good thing Justin called you *right away*. It's clear that *you* are having a hard time adjusting to *you* being away at college *in the big city*...don't worry - *you'll* come around ;)
Gotta love him! He's for sure working on your car right now ;)
Love you, sis
