Ok, so, some people here are having trouble adjusting to life at M "boot camp". I haven't really had much trouble with it.
BUT
This morning was Saturday and we had no class, no meetings, nothing that HAD to be done. So, I slept in (which was amazing), but then I didn't quite know what to do with myself. No TV! Most of the time I don't miss it, but I have today!
Last night was a good time to get out of the "compound" and enjoy American life again. I went with a couple of other girls to see "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2". It was a pretty good movie and it made me miss my girls. I also went to WALMART! and bought some coffee creamer, poptarts, and a couple new shirts. As much as I sometimes dread going to walmart, I miss it. And i will miss it when i go overseas.
As for the rest of today, I got to witness the tail end of tropical storm.....err....Hurricane....Hannah. I'm not sure which one it was. We got so much rain and wind, but it was pretty cool. I went down to our creek and watched the water rush over the rocks with amazing force...it was so loud and powerful. I was totally mezmerized. A few weeks back, I had my 3 hour spiritual retreat near the same place and it was dried up. That day I felt like God was saying I am like that dried up creek when I don't abide in Him. So, seeing that contrast today was awesome.....Life in the flesh vs. Life in the Spirit.
I could go on and on about this.....but I will spare you! :)
