first post.

Well....here goes nothing.

This is my first blogging experience. I am actually kind of excited! I have always thought it would be fun to blog, but I never have because I always thought I didn't have anything exciting to write about. I mean, I am a college student at Washburn University who works at a cupcake bakery (Billy Vanilly!). My days consist of class, homework, work, and spending time with friends and family. But God is telling me differently...He is showing me that my life is not boring and there are things that I can share with whoever ends up reading this.....you will have to wait and see what those "things" are though. I'm not going to ruin the surprise. In fact....it will be a surprise for both of us because I'm not even completely sure what "things" I have to write about. I just feel like God is calling me to blog about...."things". Needless to say, it will be a journey for all of us! :)

I do know however that God has really brought me peace with where I am at for the time being. While I am not somewhere extravagant like Africa, South America or Central America, Australia or Hawaii, I am really enjoying life....even in Topeka, KS. I know I am where God wants me to be at this point in my life. And He has blessed me with some incredible people who have become part of my family. I have made some of the best friends here in Topeka and I am so thankful for that. This, the Chi Alpha House, has become my home away from home. Although I am not at some exotic place God is still working in me and teaching me things, I am having some of the best times I have ever had. I laugh really hard....ab workout kind of hard....at least weekly. It is usually multiple times a week....sometimes maybe daily! It's a wonderful thing!

My point is though (I keep getting off topic...sorry), I want to use this blog to share with my family and friends the happenings of my life as well as my walk with God. And... eventually when I get a new camera, I will even add pictures! :) So I hope that my rambling isn't to boring for you. And just a warning, I am really good at rambling! I will try to keep it to a minimum! :)
