You Carry Me....

Last week, I began my second year of college. Exciting, right? Wellllll, not for me. Unlike the other 98% of college students out there, I'm not exactly a fan of being here. Last week was incredibly bad....I seriously had to fight the urge more than a couple of times to pack up and go back home to the people that I love, the town I love, my church, the familiar faces, my BED, my house, etc... I also had to fight the urge to curl up in a ball and cry all day. I chided myself for being such a homebody, so unwilling to force myself to like college. When I went home last weekend and got to church on Sunday and put my choir robe on, I literally had to fight the tears...Lord, WHY can't I just QUIT school and come back to what I LOVE?!?!

Fortunately though, after much prayer and worry and thought, this week is better. I don't think I will ever love love college...but hopefully I can at least live with it and have many positive experiences.....


These lyrics definitely sum up why I came back this week:) :
I’ve heard Your voice and I’ve felt the calm
I stand only because You’ve given me faith to walk

Kinda short post for now...when I have more time, I want to write a post about my Bible study experience over the summer - amazing. For now though, I better go do some reading about the United States government...Fun stuff.
