Halloween's eve

Is it possible to fall in love with school after stress has consumed you? That's one of the phenomenons i've encountered during my college journey. I don't know if i'll ever figure it out. Anyway.. is anyone going to a secular college with some words of encouragement or advice on how I could start a small group/worship service in residence? I could use some pointers.. AND some prayer.
I'm going home again soon. My sister is expecting any day now with my third little niece or nephew, so by the time I get home I'll have another brand new baby to hold.. just ask me how excited I am.. SOO EXCITED!
Every time Marisa and Jon post I am inspired. You're in my prayers and thoughts, I just know that you two are changing hearts! And Marisa, if you're reading this.. the northern cold isn't that bad.. there's perks in it too.. like skating, and sledding and skiing! ..to name a few..
Like I said before, school is stressful but good. I've made a few good friends, joined the swim team. This time of the year is fun, Halloween inspires creativity, some good... some, questionable, some blatently wrong. All in all, for me it's an excuse to dress up and stress down. Here's a picture of me and my roommate, Kim this last weekend. Halloween is actually tomorrow, but since I've got a final on thursday, we dressed up on friday and saturday instead.

one of those days..

Have you ever felt as if maybe you weren't meant to stay in one spot long enough to build a solid community of friends? I mean.. it could be exciting, remembering that God will be with you no matter what, and you'll meet lots of new people while outside your comfort zone. But, there's also the concept of being afraid of what lies ahead. Who do you talk to when you need advice, comfort, or three simple yet powerful words, "I love you"? I'm trying to figure that out.
