college

so i'm in college now. ha i feel like it was just yesterday that i was walking out of my house on my way to sanderson. unc wilmington is awesome. no, i'm not at the place right now where i would say that it is my favorite place in the world, because it (like any other) is going to take some getting used to. definitely an adjustment. but the people are so chill and nice and everyone wants to meet everyone! my classes are good..i'm taking bio and chem together. lets just say i'll be reading and studying. alot. i've gone to crusade and ccf, and there's a bible study tomorrow night and i'm so super pumped about it! i've met and reconnected with some amazing people, and they seriously are blessings from the Lord!

I'm not going to lie, its kinda fun being on your own. yes i miss my family and friends in raleigh like CRAZY but i know i'll be back to visit, and while i'm down here, i want to make the most of my time here. its definitely scary and overwhelming (didn't know there was so much homework!!) but it makes you kind of grow up a bit. In high school, my daily time with God was important, but I knew I always had my family and close friends right there with me. here, my bible time is one of the biggest parts of my day. not knowing what each day holds and just simply relying on Christ to be the place where you find joy has been huge for me. I've learned so much about trusting in Christ and who He says He is, and that simply by following Him, i can live life so much more abundantly! its hard, but worth it, ya know?

thats it for now. its 10:56 and i'm off to read more about biology. oh fun.

love to you all,

kate
