stuff your eyes with wonder

have i mentioned how much i feel at home here, how much God has had his hand over this decision to come here, to be here, to love and live here? yesterday was my first day of classes and it was great, my design professor is unbelievable. the words that flow from prof. carl's mouth are so eloquent and beautiful and full of knowledge and insight whether he's quoting an author or merely discussing the finer and lesser points of picasso. if the students here were encouraging, the professors are anchoring me here. i want to pick the brains of my profs, listen to the stories of my peers and just worship God in this place. whats even more amazing is that this campus and these people arent under an invisible administration, i love my schools president, president cain is constantly involved and constantly out and about getting to know his staff and students. he runs this campus so well because he loves so big, God is in this place, can't say that enough. Stuff your eyes with wonder. thats what i want to do. open my eyes so wide that i can fill them to the brim with wonder. be encouraged, beauty is everywhere.

When It's Time to Party We Will Party Hard

So, i am officially here at judson, all moved in and had an incredible day. I feel a change in my heart already, the guys here are amazing, they accept me and i dont feel self-conscious or afraid to be myself. The thing about the people here is they encourage love, but not just love, God's love and accountability...there is nothing here that im afraid to try because these guys have shown immense love and acceptance already. i look forward to doing life with these guys and sharing this amazing new chapter of my life with them and the other students as they move in in a couple days. Thank you God, I don't think I could've found this anywhere else.

It's time to party hard.


Oh yeah...i played ultimate frisbee with a bunch of strangers...shirtless....in the mud...those of you who know me will be shocked to hear that. have a good night.

Here comes the rain again.

So it has been raining for about 3 days or more, i dunno. Anyway parts of my school are flooded and I move in today...go figure. That leads me to the fact that I AM MOVING OUT OF MY HOUSE! I'm full of all kinds of emotions, I'm excited, I'm nervous, but mostly I'm ready. This phase of my life needs to begin with a rush of newness and revitalization as I say goodbye to my parents and take a step toward the place I've been waiting for for a long time.


Judson...here i come.
