LA Bound

Okay wow.

I feel really weird.

Is this how normal college kids feel before leaving everything they've ever known? I'm not sure but I do know I don't like this feeling. The past week has thrown me for a loop. I said so so so many goodbyes, hugged a lot of people. Got my roommate, made closer bonds with a couple girls in my class. And if we're being really real here, I got into a few arguments and had to apologize a couple times. Change and transition are so difficult to adjust to. I'm super thankful for good parents that hold my hand through all of it. I stopped working, packed up everything I think I'll need for the next couple of months. I laughed a lot, never took the smile off my face (but anyone who knows me knows I never take it off regardless :) ).

I'm not sure that there's a huge point to this post. So to my friends and family taking time out of their day to read this.. hi. I love you. I'm going to miss you A LOT. Prayers for calmed nerves and a good beginning to this crazy journey would be really nice.

I am over the moon excited, over the moon anxious, over the moon nervous. But so so so ready.

Let's do this thing, shall we?

I'll update after moving into my dorm, hopefully with pictures! Stay tuned.

Xoxo,
Your Kansas Girl Bound for Cali

Here's the true test of the motives in your heart:  Would you still write if no one was reading it?  How do you act when you don't think anyone is watching?  A true posture of humility.  Philippians 2:3 TPT "Be free from pride-filled opinions, for they will only HARM your CHERISHED UNITY. Don't allow self-promotion to hide in your hearts, but in authentic HUMILITY put others first and view others as MORE important than yourselves." (emphasis was my own)  I was in a staff meeting the other day, thinking about the people around me and how blessed I am to learn from them and grow as a leader with them. Then I starting thinking about something so small that I used to practice but I no longer do: I've been walking into rooms with the heart posture that I have little to learn. I'm not sure where or when I picked up this prideful nature, but I did. And as I sat in that staff meeting, I realized I still have so much to learn.  Jesus walked into rooms as the least ...

Life Update

Hey hey!!! Long time no see, I know, I know. Life gets in the way a bit too often for this girl to think about updating anywhere! Life Update: I graduated my first year of DCLS in June! I know I updated in late May about what life looked like then, but I will be the first to tell you my life has turned completely around since then!  Grad was absolutely incredible and more than I could have ever expected. I was actually awarded Student of the Year, which completed and wrapped up my year so perfectly. Graduation was full of hugs, tears, laughter, but mostly an insane amount of love. I couldn’t have asked for a better end to my first year.  I was able to return home for the summer which was SO nice. I have to give it up for my parents here, because they’re the greatest and allowed me to work crazy amounts this summer and still loved me when I was cranky and sleep deprived. I was able to work my tail off to save a decent amount for returning to Los Angeles (where I ...

Gentle Surprises

 Hey hey!  Back again only eleven days after my last post. Broken record?!?!? This first semester as a third year has been so so wild. Half of what I get to do and what my life looks like has been totally unexpected in the best way possible.  Before returning for my third year, Holy Spirit whispered to me that there would be some "gentle surprises" along the way this year. If you know me, you know I do not enjoy surprises. I love to know what's going to happen and what's going on at all times. Christmas kills me because I just wanna know what I'm getting!! Anyone else this way?! Anyways, I was never told what these gentle surprises would be or what they would look like, I just walked into my third year expecting some sort of surprises.  The first was probably two weeks into returning to Los Angeles. The first years were about to arrive and with being in a new building this year, everything was all a little different. I had moved into the first floor of our three f...
