I’m over half way done with my first semester here at Mizzou. Wow, life is crazy. I’m enjoying the beautiful campus and learning a lot. I’m saddened by the beloved friends I haven’t been near in 6 months, but I’m meeting new people and making new friends. Getting used to change isn’t coming too easily, but I know this is were God has put me. All I can do is live the best I can now learning all I can.

I was blessed with a job at Jesse Hall in the residency office and joined a campus church called The Rock. So far my favorite place to eat is a stir fry place in one of the dinning halls called Plaza. I eat there almost everyday. I also have started working out at 7am with one of my new friends and life group leader. It’s a bit rough, but pain is gain (or so I’ve been told). I’ve also joined the Sports, Park, Rec and Tourism Assoc better known as SPRTA (pronounced Sparta), and I serve on the exec board as the S&N student council rep. In my little bit of free time I try to make it to the swing club and the climbing wall.

The most frustrating things so far have been group projects, vague lectures, and not exactly knowing what God wants me to do. But then again God never promised to show us everything.  So I’m trusting as best as I can and trying to live in joy through this roller coaster that everyone says is the best time of their lives.
