Wow. So I'm done (aside from finals) with my 3rd semester of college. This semester was 100% different than my other two on so many levels.....God has taught me so much and blessed me so much by the people He has placed in my life. I would have never imagined that I'd get to the point of Christmas break and not want to go home. It's not that I don't want home, because I really miss the comfortable, there's-no-place-like-home feeling that really & truly is home. I'm also really excited about getting to spend some time with my dad talking about all the books we've been reading and having tea together each night. I'm ready to get together with some friends from home who I've really missed these last couple months. I'm ready to be with my brothers and just relax.....but I'm almost afraid in a sense of being away from these people who have my heart for over a month. A month never seems long when we're all together, but being apart for a month is going to be rough......God has put all these people into my life and I am a better and different person than I was when I came back here in August. I'm becoming a prayer warrior for my community, school, friends, and family because I'm seeing that IT DOES SOMETHING. I have a whole new thought process because I'm learning what it means to live a simple, but profound life. I'm seeing the lost saved and needy fullfilled and nothing can really be said except that I'm a better person because of Matt. And Jim. And Kelsey. And Carmen, Scott, Jade, Anna, JOHNNY PAYNE, JP, Jaida, and so many others........

On another note.

I wish liking people wasn't complicated.

Anyways.

All is well,

I'm just a little anxious to see what it's going to look like to be apart for Christmas break....

my love to all.
