A New Chapter (in my life)

For those few of you who actually read my blog, haha, I'd be happy to share with you what I have been up to the past couple of days. I arrived at Grace University in Omaha on Saturday and moved in and since then we've had all sorts of different activities with all the new students, and now with the returning students. Classes start tomorrow. I'm kind of nervous, but more ready to get down to business and dig deep into the passion I was driving myself to come here for in the first place. This will be quite an adventure, let me tell you!! This semester I'm taking Old Testament Survey (which is a general overview of the first half of the Bible), Theology of Church Missions, Daniel and Revelation, Intro to Philosophy (hmmm, I'm not sure about this one- doesn't sound to easy), and Healthy Lifestyles for Women. We are also required to do a Servant Leadership Training thing once a semester for all the years we are here. Of course I'm going to do something with my major. I have a couple of options- working with inner city kids after school, working with cross-cultural churches, working with just youth and children, etc. I'm excited, yet nervous and scared at the same time. My passion is people and it is to go overseas, but I also have not been exposed to much of any cultures in my whole lifetime. I grew up in a town with all white people. I went on a missions trip for 2 1/2 weeks but that really isn't that long at all! But I think that this will be a great learning experience and maybe it will open up some more doors and opportunities I never thought of earlier. I'll keep you all posted, but for now, below I have a picture of us new students on our hall including TL's. (It was at ConAgra Park, just north of Grace near downtown and the Old Market)
