Grateful.

Today I am feeling very grateful to those who have given me money over the past couple months. Combined with other gifts i am receiving, god has provided a way for me to attend covenant this fall. i have the money for the first semester! this first walk of faith was not easy, but the next will be even more difficult. i am just clinging to the hope that where he wills, i will be. whether covenant, or suffolk :) or just home, he will provide.
Meanwhile, i continue to work, work, and work. it is tiring, but i know my reward will be in august when i get to meet all the awesome people at covenant and have an awesome year!

the beginning..

so, the last few months, while i've been struggling with my decision with college, i've kept a journal of all my feelings and thoughts. but i kinda got tired of writing, and thought it would be interesting to blog instead. i thought it would be cool to go back in a few years and see what i thought about college. i started writing in april, when i had no clue where god wanted me or where i was supposed to be. but, after i went to covenant, for the weekend i knew it was the place i was supposed to be. however, it was just a matter of finances. after talking with friends and family, i decided to take the biggest step of faith i've ever taken and say yes to a school i cannot afford - and probably will never be able to afford. but god is faithful and sovereign and his will his own, not mine.
meanwhile, i am excited for school in the fall! my roomate and i have talked through facebook and i have "met" several other people who will soon become my classmates. i was very sad when high school ended, but i am even more excited for college to begin! : )
