Sane Spring

Firstly, the weather here in Lamoni has been too sane the last 3 days I've been here, which in a way is in fact insane, because I was pretty sure it would be snowing blizzards by the dozens by now! (Sorry Alaska!) However, i am grateful, because the warmer weather here reminds of what I had for a while in Baltimore, which was amazing.
So today was the second day of classes. I'm only at 13 credit hours this semester, so things should definitely be calmer (hopefully), and perhaps a little less stressful. I have a nice schedule, and have a solid one-hour work shift at the receptionist desk each week-something's better than nothing by a long shot.
When I flew back to Graceland this past sunday, I had no idea if I was going to stay or not, and honestly, I don't think I really cared. I mean, what's the worst that could happen? Graceland University is a wonderful, happy place, but it's not the only place a woman can get a decent postsecondary education. However, I am glad to be back with my bestest friends on campus, the wonderful sisters and women on my hall, and starting new classes. Hopefully something will spark inside of me that will either comfort me, or give me a perspective on things and a hint of what I am meant to do. I am the type of person, and perhaps part of me really is OCD, who absolutely has to have a solidly concrete (yes, redundancy) plan and everything to be laid out. When uncertainty breaches its ugly little head in my life, and even the tiniest bit, it throws me completely off balance, and I guess that's what the Devil wants.
I'm looking for a new experience this semester. It's different here without Ashly B., but I want her to know that my thoughts and prayers will always be with her no matter what.
Sometimes I think that it really sucks to be so far from home in Baltimore City. First of all, church here is nothing like what pastor Jeff gave us at the PowerHouse, but then again, nothing is like how we do services at the PowerHouse. And being out here in Lamoni, Iowa, I think I am missing things. I don't get to go to court to watch Reuben Dunn go down in flames, I don't get to hang out with friends back home, and video calling on facebook has to suffice for having face to face conversations with family back home.
But ya know what? God's got something in store. I know it. :) For He's already done wonders. :)
