For as long as I can remember, I have wanted/planned to come to FC. As the time actually got close to leave, and coming here actually became reality, I got very anxious. In many ways, my expectations have become a reality. Up to this point, however, I know not all of them have. I think it comes with being new here. It's a completely new atmosphere and I have to learn to adjust to all the changes.
Well, I've been here for almost a month now, and I think I'm finally beginning to settle in. It has taken a little while, but that's okay. I'm ready to do what God has planned for me in my time here. I AM SOO EXCITED!!!
I already have some friends that I know are going to be lasting friendships. I love my kamp girls Katie and Amanda.Katie today at lunch was talking about us getting a bible study together. She mentioned how she wants to focus on 'studying' b/c its not a priority. And I couldn't agree with her more for me too. Studying gets put on the back burner.I'm distracted with everything else that's going on here. I mean, sure I'm getting a lot of 'bible and devotion' but I'm missing this key ingredient. And that's My down time with God. I neglect it. And no matter how many things I may attend and do on the outside, or how many bible classes or chapels I sit in, if I, myself, am not studying on my own time..things just don't fall into place. I still have this huge void to fill.
So..I really would like to get this study going. And I really look forward to growing closer to my girls with the common bond of Christ.

Just some of my thoughts...
Have a blessed day!

ps~TODAY IS TARA'S BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! BIG 17

Let's get down to business
To defeat the Huns
Did they send me daughters
When I asked for sons?
You're the saddest bunch
I ever met
But you can bet
Before we're through
Mister, I'll make a man
out of you

Tranquil as a forest
But on fire within
Once you find your center
you are sure to win
You're a spineless, pale
pathetic lot
And you haven't got a clue
Somehow I'll make a man
out of you

I'm never gonna catch
my breath
Say good-bye to those
who knew me
Boy, was I a fool in school
for cutting gym
This guy's got 'em
scared to death
Hope he doesn't see
right through me
Now I really wish that I
knew how to swim

(Be a man)
We must be swift as
the coursing river
(Be a man)
With all the force
of a great typhoon
(Be a man)
With all the strength
of a raging fire
Mysterious as the
dark side of the moon

Time is racing toward us
till the Huns arrive
Heed my every order
and you might survive
You're unsuited for
the rage of war
So pack up, go home
you're through
How could I make a man
out of you?

(Be a man)
We must be swift as
the coursing river
(Be a man)
With all the force
of a great typhoon
(Be a man)
With all the strength
of a raging fire
Mysterious as the
dark side of the moon

(Be a man)
We must be swift as
the Coursing river
(Be a man)
With all the force
of a great typhoon
(Be a man)
With all the stength
of a raging fire
Mysterious as the
dark side of the moon

So, I finally made it. I'm at Florida College. A place I've anticipated all my life. And I have to say that so far-its great! I really love it here. I'm having a blast with my roommate and I've already met sooo many people. My classes are good so far..but I've only been 3 days, so..we'll see how I feel in a few weeks haha. Welp, I've got a lot to do-I'll post later!
