So recently, some exciting things have been happening in my life. Since I like lists, I will make one for you to tell you all of them (there aren't many, so don't get too excited yet).
1. I have recently started going to a new campus ministry (new to me) and have been meeting some awesome new people. Yay God for answering my 'community' prayers!
2. We won our intramural volleyball game two nights ago after a serious comeback, so that was exciting... kinda.
3. I get to go on a retreat this coming weekend and I can say it has been a LONG time since I have been on a spiritual retreat. I AM PUMPED.
4. Last night one of the girls I love dearly at the children's home I worked at this summer in Honduras chatted me on facebook! I was just about to sign off when her "hola, como esta" popped up at the bottom of the page. I'll admit to you that I immediately started crying. Crying has been a recent reaction to anything I see or hear related to Honduras.
5. Today I starting working on my plans to return to Honduras in December! I am so beyond ready to be back there I can barely stand it.
6. I am taking two health classes this semester, one of them being global health. I am loving this class, as it gives me an excuse to look up facts and statistics about foreign countries all the time. I bet you can guess which country I choose every time.... I'm sure my teacher is beginning to see some bias, although I like to think of it as a centralized passion for a particular geographic area, people, and culture. :)
Side note: Yes, I did just use a smiley face in a blog post and I am not ashamed.
Side side note: I also do not apologize for the last three numbers all being about Honduras. It's a great place, y'all.
7. I AM EXERCISING AGAIN. This deserves all-caps because this is a huge deal. After leaving my previous college where I played collegiate volleyball, I went on a "no-exercising" streak that lasted about...uh... 2 years? Due to my college aerobic class (yes, I take aerobics for college credit...) and playing volleyball for the CofC Club team, I am slowly getting back to normal. And by normal I mean not having an asthma attack walking up three flights of stairs.
8. I got to get dinner and reconnect with a friend of mine two nights ago after a long time of disconnection. So thankful for that rekindling!
9. The girls I nanny got a puppy a few weeks ago and I love her. Her name is Chloe and she entertains me when I am babysitting until 12:30 AM. She is such a little white fluff ball!
That's about all I have for the moment. With that being said, I've been feeling good about Romans 8:28 lately. Sometimes I really doubt that verse and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Be encouraged and know that the Lord really does work all things for good for those who love Him.
