Changing: first month at Olivet

Today marks one month since I moved into Olivet. I can't believe it has only been a month. I feel like it has been a lifetime.

Today is also the first official day of fall! (YAY)

From the fourth floor of the English building, I can see the very tops of the trees changing leaf by leaf.

I can see myself doing the same. 

Some changes are just little things: giving blood, participating in a color run, cheering on the football team, and exercising. Then there are bigger things: participating in shows, preparing to mentor a high risk high school student, becoming consistent in my prayer and devotional life, and knowing myself.

There have already been ups and downs in one month. I miss my family, but I have begun to call Olivet home. I love my floormates, but sometimes I just really need to be alone. Living with so many other people is a big change. Everything now is a big change. I love it, but it is a lot to take in. 

I don't have much to say today, but I'm very grateful for all of your prayers. These years will shape the rest of my life, and it means the world to me knowing that your prayers are behind me.

God bless and happy fall! (And banned book week)
