Encouragment

As the first week of classes, this week has been crazy.  I think I finally have my schedule memorized and my waitlisted classes sorted out, which is a relief.  The highlight of the last few days has been seeing friendly faces around campus that I haven't seen all summer.  I love that Cal Poly is small enough that it is difficult to walk somewhere without seeing someone you know on the way.  

Getting back to school is also encouraging me spiritually.  It was difficult not having much fellowship during the summer.  In SLO I am blessed with such a great community that supports me and holds me accountable. Yesterday morning I had a college group meeting for church at 6:00.  For those of you who don't know, this is practically the middle of the night for me.  Thanks to great company and great coffee cake though, the meeting was actually a lot of fun and very encouraging.
Along with Psalm 51:10, another verse I've been looking at for the past few days is Romans 8:28, which has been great for this week.

Beginnings




Life in our little apartment has gotten off to a great start. I'm living with my sister and two friends, which has been really fun so far. Last night we made chocolate chip pancakes for dinner, which I think explains what our dinners are going to look like for the year, and we haven't stopped watching Friends since we got here. We are all obsessed with the show and together have all ten seasons; a dangerous combination.


I tried to start today with this Psalm 51:4 in mind.  So encouraging! "Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me."
