The first week of the Summer Work Program is...

Tiring. This week has been crazy busy. Monday night I moved half of my belongings across campus in a blue cart. Little did we know that the one of the wheels was about to have it's tread ripped off so Nathan, Eli, and I all have to push the cart a little harder. After that exhausting experience, Eli and I left Nathan with the cart to push back to Mabee dorm himself (he did volunteer, don't worry) while we lugged my things up 3 stories. Eli and I decided to reward ourselves with a sleepover,so we watched a movie, ate popcorn and cookies, and drank coffee.
Tuesday night was the same adventure. Except we didn't have popcorn...or cookies...
Wednesday I moved the rest of my things over to my new dorm, checked out of Mabee 516 and left it to be remodeled so that it can be beautiful when I move back into it in 11 weeks. Then we rewarded ourselves to a Sonic run and I got a milkshake that I later regretted.
Thursday night I worked for Dr. Williams and tonight Emma and I are driving home. I got up at 5:30am this morning so I could go play piano in the chapel before breakfast. But it was locked... so I went back and made myself a hot drink, checked my emails and then went back to the chapel to see if they had unlocked it. They hadn't. So now I'm here... waiting for 6:55am to hit so I can walk over to the cafeteria to meet my sister and Eli.

Now that you have that nice little summary of my life, I'll share with you what I've really been feeling. I keep getting stuck on Ecclesiastes 3 "For every thing there is a time and a purpose under the heavens". When I first found out that Emma and I wouldn't be roommates, I just wanted to cry. I was scared to share a room with a complete stranger, but really, I just didn't want things to change. I liked my quiet dorm room. It was just amazing to me that I got to be with Emma. But God wanted things to change, and so they have. My friend, who is an RA, said that they probably made a mistake when typing up the housing list. One mistake... it was kind of annoying at first, but now I realize how God is using this experience. My new roommate is a quiet, sweet girl. She works at the cafeteria and was off Wednesday and Thursday. I think she spent the entire time in our room. I hoping that I can be a good example to her and be a good friend to her while she's here. I don't know what God has in store but I'm sure it'll be amazing. :-)

My future home...
