So, i have been so excited about meeting many new students since i've been back at school. particularly i've been excited about meeting a lot of new freshman and i have high hopes of meeting tons of international students. i love international students for many, many reasons. they have brought so much cultural diversity to the campus of USC and they are so eager about being here. i love meeting them and learning from them. it gives me a insight to the world outside of the US and keeps me on my toes. i'm so excited about the opportunities i have before me to go and meet more international students. i was about to go to the International Student Association meeting last night and met two girls specifically that i am so excited about spending much more time with! their names are Rina and Shizuka. they are from Japan and have only been here a few short weeks. they are students trying to learn english through the local english program. they are so exciting and fun--and so eager to learn english. i can see a lot of awesome times ahead with them. tomorrow i am picking them up and cooking an american breakfast for them, i'm so excited.
i am just beyond blessed by the ways God has shown Himself to me lately by reminding me that i am His. since i've been back from camp it hasn't been the easiest adjustment. i went from bible study every morning at 730, ministry work (which was awesome) all day long, and worship at night. it was a constant flow of the His word into my life. since being at home, the bible hasn't just naturally surrounded everything i do or been apart of my schedule like it was during camp. it is a choice now. i must wake up and choose to be in the word, and choose to live by the standards it shows me. it is still an adjustment and i'm thankful for a group of friends that desire the word and desire to seek Him. i've had my struggles since being at school, but none the cross hasn't overcome. and i'm thankful for that.
