I have been struggling for time to update this yet not even knowing why the struggle exists in the first place. I'm a COLLEGE student. We sleep. We eat. We talk. We stay up WAY too late. We laugh. We go to class. We maybe at times sleep through class [okay, I've done it ONCE and not even on purpose!]. We have work to do, but it for some reason seems to take less time then it did in highschool.
Oh, I love this time of my life. It's weird, I don't love it as much as I did the last 4 years, but I love it. I love that God has blown me away [again] with just....this whole adjusting thing. My heart is and always will be in GA. With my family and with my church family. With my friends from highschool and my 5 precious freshman [now sophmores...] girls. All of the things that make home home are never going to change. I have an unbelievable desire to be home especially on Sundays. I so deeply apperciate the teaching and truth of my pastors. I miss how hard it is to find....just family. and love. and acceptance[the proper kind] in a church setting. For those of who are reading, please pray for finding a temporary church here. Thank you very much.
I had a conversation with a friend last night. We talked about how we are always SO surprised when God is faithful to us and comes through in our situations and we talked about how easy our attitude of faith changes. Why should I be surprised when God comes through? He has in EVERY circumstance of my life. Of times of mourning...there was comfort. Of confusion...not just clarity, but peace. Of unclear future plans...a way for things to work out the way HE knew I needed. It's been said in many ways since I've been here that none of us were brought here by accident....and well, that is the only way I know how to explain it.
Last night we had a unplanned about 45 min-hour worship/prayer time and God moved in such a huge way....those who were at Passion or New Attitude....well it was that kind of powerful...and I just was overwhelmed and thought of how amazing it is that I go to a COLLEGE where that is allowed and welcome and wanted and valued.
Praise be to the Savior.
I hope everyone is doing well and I am thankful and praying for you all!

Hi Hannah,
I came across your "blog" and so happy I did...I'm so glad to hear that you have adjusted to college life. It is the kindness of the Lord that He has allowed you to attend a christian college where you can have like-minded friends and opportunities of spontaneous worship. I understand and appreciate your "heart" for your home church and Family. I will pray that the Lord provides a local church that continues to strengthen and grow you. Hannah, I so respect your outward expression of your committment, love and surrender to our Savior. May He continue to use you to be a light and source of truth for others. May you continue to be encouraged by the promises of God as you walk out this new season.
Now that I found you, I'll be checking in.
Love,
Mrs. A
