This week has been amazing! I mean for the first time in probably my college career, I have had a whole lot of Lauren time, which has rocked. I have actually been going to bed at a decent hour and not be exhausted all day the next day even after a very long nap. This is also the first time EVER for me to have skipped absolutely none of my classes. Do not fret, I already patted myself on the back. Anyways I say all this, because if you know me at all then you know I have not wanted to necessarily be in Oxford this year or I dont know ever. But I have really learned that being here has given me awesome open doors for after I graduate. For instance, I have always wanted to move to NYC, but been totally frightened of the idea at the same time. This morning I was able to talk with the mission's minister at the 411, who is awesome. It made me so excited to think that I could move there, and I already know of a church family I could get plugged into. That really helps make the move seem a whole lot easier. After talking to him, it made me so excited! This is definitely something I have discovered I am passionate about. I am passionate about urban ministry! and all it has to offer. Anyways, me sucking it up here for a little longer for God to continue to grow me and mold me is not so bad. I mean I do have amazing friends that are there for me all the time. I guess I really cannot ask for anything more than that. Well I wrote this entry, despite my last one being mocked by some, you jerks. So be friendly this time! And have a nice day.
