I cannot believe I have only been in Rexburg for one week. It feels like an eternity, haha! Nothing like starting the semester with a cancelled flight, new apartment, new roommates, new major and snow. Honestly, I am blowing my own mind as I think about it. However, I have not been alone this week. I was blessed with many tender mercies and miracles. Let's list a few:
1. My roommates are incredible! Who knew it was possible to build a better friendship with 6 girls in 7 days than I had all last semester with 2 girls?
2. My ED 200 is for secondary education majors and I feel right at home.
3. My ward has nice guys and girls in it.
4. My winter coat works like a charm.
5. I have a phone that calls all my favorite people.
6. People that I met last semester remember me and say "hi"
7. I got my birthday and Christmas package (you can call me for details on that one if you'd like)
8. I have food :)
9. I am a little over a 1/3 done with math
10. I didn't have any emotional break-downs on campus
These probably seem like insignificant things but if you had been in my shoes would know how important they were to my survival. I am so grateful for prayer and family. Heavenly Father is so aware of each of us and our individual needs. He is always listening to our prayers even when we can't feel it right then. He will never leave us helpless. God puts things, people, and circumstance in our lives to help us grow and lift us higher. We can't compare our experiences or feelings to anyone else's because we all need to grow in different ways and our experiences our what lead us in that growth.
