Wow. My girlies. For once I feel like I'm totally on the oppposite side of you two right now. I tested out the party scene two weekends ago (I think you all remember how that went...AKA maaaaaaajor drunk dialing) and that night convinced me that there could be no good to come out of 'partying' at Wesleyan. Nothing about it is attractive, because all it does is remind me how much I really hate central Illinois and how much I miss my friends and BA. I suffer with that enough during the day SIN alcohol. And sex...please. You should see the amazing selection of 5 foot 4 inch lovely gentleman that go to this school. What I'm trying to say is, for the first time in my life, I have zero temptaion to party and or be involved in sexual activity.
HOWEVER.
I still really feel like I left a huge part of my relationship with God in Argentina. A lot of it has carried over, but mostly I'm at a total loss when it comes to FRIENDS in Christ. As in...pretty much zero. None of my friends who I thought would be really excited about WM have even mentioned it to me, and I rarely see them anyway. I dont know how to talk about God or my experiences with Him abroad with my friends at this school. I feel isolated, which makes it easier for me to be 'pure', but I just dont know...I've never been the kind of person that can be with God sola. Yeah, so here I go on rambling...ughhhhhhhhh. So while ya'll are out partying, I'm here with God bored out of my mind. And sad. And lonley. Hmm....
Long story short, I would really really love it if maybe we could all run away together. I'm praying for you girls. Becca - you'll be ready when you are ready. And can I get a time out..I'M PRETTY SURE that you know that God loves you and forgives you no matter what. We are in the midst of one of the most conflicting and confusing times in our lives, and all he asks is for us to trust in him. We are growing in our walk...we are not instantaneous marathon runners. Bri - that is some heavy stuff! And honestly, I think the best part about that contract is the fact that you signed it with other women. You have a support system. I can't even begin to describe how difficult it is to NOT have one (of course I have you girls, but I can't hold your hands when I pray or get hugs :( you know what i mean). Having that foundation will help you fulfill those promises, and I think God will really show you that signature was worth it. ;)
Love you all sooo friggin much. Would you guys like to pick out a book to do a bible study on? I'm DYING for a bible study group and even if we take our time with it I think it would still be a lot of fun. We can take turns, one or two chapters at a time, post every Tuesday?
Verse to LOVE this week:
For out of the overflow of the heard, the mouth speaks. Luke 6:45
What we chose to fill our hearts with, we will share with others. I think this blog is a perfect example. Thank you for sharing your love filled hearts with me and letting me share the same with you. I love you girlies more than you know.
