Columbia College Chicago!!!

Hey guys! I realize it's been forever-at least it feels like it to me.

Tomorrow-well, technically today...-I start classes at Columbia College Chicago. I moved into my dorm last week, and I guess I've gotten acclimated. It's definitely been rough and up-and-down spiritually, but I feel like the Colton Dixon song "Through All of It" has been totally true.

Tomorrow I have modern/contemporary dance and ASL II. The first Intervarsity meeting is also tomorrow night. I'm really, really excited about that. Words cannot express my joy. :) Well, except maybe a poem... I do probably write better late at night, but I need to go to bed. I'm just filled with anxious/nervous anticipation of the things to come, so it's super hard to let go enough to go to sleep. It probably doesn't help that I'm staring at a computer screen, but... y'know.

I went to the Church of the Beloved yesterday. It was amazing. I started tearing up before even entering the building because I was so hungry for Christian community, and I bawled my eyes out during the service. I've hung out with people from there after church yesterday and tonight. I guess I like them. :) I almost feel bad being sarcastic like that because hanging out with them feels SO MUCH LIKE HOME OMGOSH.

Blogging playlist: (aka songs I listened to while I wrote)
"This My Soul"
"Go" (which I already played for a non-Christian friend I met here-it's a great story that you should ask me about :) [but you might have to listen to it to really be intrigued...{mysterious enough? let me know in the comments!}])
aaannndddd both of those are by The Gray Havens. Enjoy!

Love you and thanks for your support!
