Thanksgiving Break

I'm home right now and it's nice. I've just been relaxing the past couple days and it's been so good. I love Loma but it's always nice to get a break from the people, the institution, and the homework. Stepping away from school is always somewhat sad too though because, at least for me, I see that I don't stay in contact with a lot of the friends I have at school for whatever reason. I saw that during summer too. People who I was close to and talked to all the time all of a sudden were doing their own thing, and so was I, and we just didn't talk.

Honestly, there were so many people that I didn't talk to for a long time that I forgot a lot of people's names and at school, I'm still trying to relearn them. I feel so bad about that! I'm terrible with names and it's really made me upset at myself. I want to know who people I've met are so I can call them by name. It makes the relationship much more authentic when you remember their name instead of just saying, "Hey man!" or "Hey you!" So I've been trying to get better at that. Well that was a fun tangent.

I didn't get any feedback unfortunately about what to write about next :( So here I am... Just writing. Nonsense. Boring. Mundane. Nothing has really happened to me that's been blog worthy. I mean, Thanksgiving was two days ago. I ate a lot of food. A LOT of food. And then yesterday all I ate was leftovers from that dinner. Today, I'll probably do the same.

Then I'll work on a project I was supposed to email to my group members on Tuesday, whoops! Then I'll eat. Nah, I'll probably eat first :D I like food. Okay now I'm just talking about nothing...

Oh! What food did I have on Thanksgiving you ask? Good question! I ate turkey, sweet potatoes with marshmallows on top, mac & cheese, dressing, spinach, Martinelli's Sparkling Cider, egg nog, broccoli cornbread, rice, and probably one other food. 'Twas yummy!

My mom and sister did the Black Friday shopping thing. Me, not so much. I've never been a big shopper anyway. Especially when women lose their minds for a night and go crazy and mace each other to be first in line (it happened this year, look it up) and I'm not down with the whole waiting in line in the wee hours of the morning and shopping until possibly the wee hours of the night. I have better things to do. Like sleep.

Welp, that's pretty much it. I'll leave you with some of the ways people have stumbled upon this blog by searches.

In the last month, people have found my blog by typing:

Need Some Feedback

Haven't said too much lately but that's mainly because I don't know what write about these days.

So that's where you come in! If you're reading this, I'd love some feedback from you.

Do you have any questions about Point Loma? About me? About random things? About Jesus? The Bible? About anything? I'm just out of things to talk about for the moment! So I need help from whoever is out there! Comment below please :)

May God bless you!

That is all.

God is so good

Today I've just been thinking about God's faithfulness a lot. Man, is He sure faithful! In the little things and the big things.

Just thinking about where God has taken me in the last two years is amazing. Tomorrow and Friday, there will be a bunch of preview students coming in and it's crazy to think about the fact that two years ago, that was me. I'm not hosting a preview student because I don't think I'd have enough time but I hope I get to meet a few of them and share my story of what it's like to be here. A lot of people give negative reviews about Loma but in reality, you get out of your experience what you put into it. Meaning, if you just mentally check out, don't do your work, sit in chapel and space out and don't pay attention to what's going on on campus, you're probably not going to like your experience here. But if you really get plugged in somewhere, meet people, and pay attention in chapel and other events around campus, God can really start changing your heart. He's been doing it with me. And it's great.

Not much else to report this time around.

Just to let you know, I'm always open for questions for those of you prospective students looking to hear more about life around campus, or about anything in general. Prayer requests, comments, whatever! God bless you!

That is all.
