Baylor :)
hey guys! whoa, this is weird actually writing in this thing..i feel like i’m sharing a journal or a personal letter to the world “/ lol oh well, i’m a nerd, so don’t mind my mindless banter.
so yeah, here i am at Baylor University..i absolutely love it! i don’t know of any other place that could compare to how amazing of a school this is. yes, i was a bit skeptical and extremely afraid of leaving home, but being here has taught me SO much. i never realized my great dependence on my family until i got here..seriously, i think that i’ve grown to appreicate and love them so much more than i have before. coming to texas and not being in my element was a total wake-up call that i need to change..i need to change everything: my outlook on life, my growth in my spiritual walk, my relationships with my family and friends–everything. i’m still in that process of finding out who i truly am and it’s a bit tough..i never knew that my identity back home was so based on who i was with and what i did..now i have to make a name for myself. weird. it’s going to be a bit of a process, but all i can do is really look to God. He’s all i need
believe me, i would do anything to come back home and stay there for the rest of my life, but i’ve realized that if i did i would never grow in any of these aspects that i’ve listed. i want to change and i want to be able to change the world..wow..it’s weird thinking that i can contribute to a good that needs to be made more pertinent on this earth..
God has totally been so good to me these past few weeks. so, everyone here is so into church, it’s ridiculous and absolutely amazing and i’m so glad that they are bc it totally keeps me in check haha anyways, it’s really tough trying to look for a home church and i’ve found that it’s even more difficult trying to look for one when you lack transportation and don’t know a single soul
thankfully, my neighbors were going to this one church, Antioch Community Church, the first Sunday we were here in Waco and i was able to catch a ride with them (trasportation-check.). so we got there and it totally blew my mind. the church community was incredible–it absolutely reminded me of SFA! the teaching, the pastors, the praise and worship, the families, the people–everything–reminded me of home and it totally just broke me. throughout the service i was praying about it and asking God to give me a confirmation of whether or not Antioch is IT. well, at the end of service, they invited us to pray with someone at the alter over anything that we were going through and in my heart God was telling me to go pray with someone. lo and behold, the woman praying with me was from scottsdale arizona and her son and his wife actually attended Scottsdale First and i could have sworn i knew them–it was amazing!!! obviously, it’s my new church haha but nothing can compare to SFA.
i miss you guys so so so much..it makes me tear up just thinking about you :’) i can’t wait to see during fall break! i love you guys..
