Hello, blogosphere. It’s been awhile. And it’s late.

I suppose that not blogging is kind of my fault, considering I had time to write at the beginning of the quarter, and then midterms happened. And now here we are.

The quarter began wonderfully. I was still so completely on fire for God after IndyCC, and everything in my life was going great! Then, the second weekend of the quarter, Campus Crusade for Christ had its annual Leadership Retreat, where I got some great insight on discipleship from Roger Hershey. It really inspired me to spread the Gospel to those who I know aren’t Christians, which is always a good thing. And I got some great fellowship time with my friends.

The whole weekend was made funnier (but not necessarily better) by the fact that while I was gone and my roommate was not in the room, a squirrel came in through our open window. And chewed up my sweetener box. And ate my Nutella.

Proof:

The rest of January carried on as usual.

Then, at the beginning of February, it was almost like my life blew up around me. I had a presentation, a paper and a midterm. I was working two staffs at The Post. And I had stuff to do for Crusade. It felt like God was just on the sidelines of my life, observing. It wasn’t fun.

But after having a couple conversations with trusted friends, I realized that He was there. The way I was feeling was His way of telling me I was taking on too much. I was encouraged to quit of one my staffs at The Post, which I did. I am no longer a writer. Just a copy editor, because that truly is my passion. I also realized that I don’t necessarily want to be a traditional journalist. God’s working on my life, and I’ve just got to wait and see what perfect plans He has for me.

On that note, this quarter has also brought some wonderful people into my life. I have been privileged to meet Emily and Sarah, two great Christian women who I’ve had the chance to become friends with. I am so grateful that God has put them in my life!

Also, I had the most amazing Valentine’s Day ever, complete with flowers!

And you can thank a wonderful guy for those! Kreg is truly a blessing in my life, and I pray that God leads our relationship wherever He wants it to go!

Aaaaand that’s my winter quarter so far in a nutshell! Hopefully I’ll have a chance to be on here more often in the future.

It’s still late. And now I’m tired. So off to bed I go!
