First week down

I survived my first week of classes.
Can you say accomplishment?
I can't. Not yet. Not until this weekend is over.
Because well, one week isn't really significant.
And it takes three weeks to form a habit, so maybe we will have to wait even longer.

I have to say for the first time in a while, I feel like I am actually doing something, with my life.
Even if that just consists of going to class and speaking Spanish and talking about Psychology.
Those are accomplishments, right? Yeah.

And I am trying to work on not comparing myself to everyone around me.
Because honestly some people are just more accomplished than me.
That inspires me. It shouldn't depress me.

Sun through the clouds

Sometimes God shows up in the most unexpected circumstances. And when he does, I don't know why I am constantly surprised. God is everywhere and yet I think I forget that sometimes. This morning I decided to go for a quick jog around the area and when I got started the sun was peeking out from the clouds. I was listening to "You Love is Strong" by Jon Foreman and as I heard the words, "So why do I worry? Why do I freak out? God knows what I need", I knew that God was there in that moment. It is definitely an encouragement to me that God reveals himself in the everyday.

The return

I know it has been over a month since I have last posted to my blog. But I am not going to apologize for that. It was summertime and I was busy living my life or not living my life and  I really didn't have anything to write about. One can only tell stories about work so many times before one sounds like a desperate person in need of a social life.

Today I can say that I am at Purdue for good. I really moved down on Wednesday, but on Friday I went back home for Gaby's celebration of life. Needless to say, it has been hard to get adjusted to everything moving between two homes. Now I am here to stay and looking forward to getting used to living away from my parents again.

To be completely honest, I had no desire to move back to Purdue. I really don't know why that is but I certainly have some theories.Most of it has to do with the fact that I don't mind living with my parents. Sure, they drive me nuts sometimes but that is what families do. I do my thing and they do theirs and we co-exist peacefully. Somehow all of the strife and angst from high school has disappeared (mostly). I also don't want to start classes knowing that I still haven't a clue of what I am doing with my life. I know it isn't a big deal but it really bothers me. I am hoping that some divine inspiration hits me soon...and I mean that in all honesty.

So with all those things being said, I am trying to be positive about starting off this school year. It's a chance for me to be a better Christian to those around me. To love others and to care about their needs. And hopefully along with the way, I will figure out what I am doing on this big bouncing ball known as Earth.
