How's it going?
Its been a few weeks since my last post, but I moved across the country, back to my hometown in Iowa for about five days, started dating my best friend (again), and then moved to Ames to start my VERY FIRST SEMESTER AT IOWA STATE. EVER.
Okay. I know. Its second semester, everyone is ready for summer, but give me some credit. The excitement will fade in two weeks, max. I promise.
So, last Sunday I went with Steven to church, and to a Sunday night bible fellowship called CBF (Cyclone Bible Fellowship). Now, as some of you know, I haven't had access to a church while I was in Florida. At the time, I was upset, but as I started working and living at Disney it just slipped my mind. I forgot my Bible in Iowa, so every once and awhile I would get my Bible app and read through a few verses. (Jeremiah 29:11 was always a go-to). When I was upset, or homesick, I would read through a few verses. That was about it, though. I was not "actively," being Christian, as a friend likes to say.
I went to church after coming home, and I almost cried. I was so happy. I was so....I don't know how to explain it. It was exhilarating. It was like God said, "Dude. Shannon. Finally. I've been waiting for you to come home."
I've realized that this is what I needed. A little shake. A little wake-up call. A little Jesus. (Sorry, my sassy side came out). I've been reading my bible more, been letting potential employers know that I would like to have Sundays off, been feeling happier.
I'm pretty pumped for this semester. I've met great people, I live with great people, and my best friend is closer than 24 hours away. This is going to be a great semester. A Lord centered semester.
Thanks for listening to my rants, and for all those lucky college kids out there remember: Coffee!
Sincerely,
Shannon
I'm not one to "preach." I have a lot of friends, with a lot of different backgrounds and beliefs, which I respect, but I expect respect in my beliefs in return. (:
