this is random, but sometimes i really find hanging out with my friends who go to good private schools to be hard. they get to take all these sweet theology classes and bible classes because they HAVE to. i get angry when i hear people complain about it...i would LOVE to have my actual HOMEWORK for a class be reading the Bible. my bible time is precious and an extra effort and usually all i have is my own brain to try to interpret it with...no super smart professor who has invested their entire life's work into figuring out what a certain passage in a certain context meant. seriously, that is sweet. don't take that for granted; that's a blessing.

there are a lot of reasons why i'm not at bethel or northwestern or even augsberg or something. mainly because i just didn't feel like that was where i was supposed to be! haha, but lately i don't know if i'm "supposed" to be anyplace, so whatever! there are moments (like this morning at work when i got to hug debbie) when i know this school is where God wants me, but it is a struggle at times.

make the most of every opportunity. the days are increasingly evil.
