God is Good all the time!

So its been awhile since I've posted anything, mainly because of fighting a sinus infection all last week, but also because there is really not a whole lot of down time here lately. I absolutely love it here though. God has provided me with so many incredible people here, I cant imagine life without them now! I remember telling some friends back home that I really did not think I would fall in love with Colorado... well that's a lie... I LOVE IT HERE! Waking up every morning to Pikes Peak and the mountains covered with purely white snow is just unbelievable. It is a constant reminder of the Lords new mercies that he so graciously gives us every single day! The Lord and his majesty is everywhere you look here, as you can imagine. Colorado Springs is quickly becoming "home" and I'm am constantly overwhelmed with the Lords faithfulness and provisions in allowing me to be here this semester. There is no reason I should be here outside of the Lords faithfulness in guiding my steps and providing me with the family and friends to encourage me to come! Thank you to my family and friends- could not have done it without each of you! God is Good ALL the time!

My beautiful roommate Christine. I really do not know what I would do without her. The Lord has provided me with such a gift in Christine, she is my "Sam" like in Lord of the Rings. I know it sounds strange, but she is really walking through this journey the Lord is taking me through and I am so incredibly blessed to have her love, wisdom, and support in my life! I love you Christine!

My beautiful roommates at the Valentines Banquet the boys put on for us! They were incredible, they served us dinner and literally "wined and dined" us all night! Our boys are AMAZING!

So this is me right after our huge guys vs. girls snowball fight like a week ago. It was super intense, but I was already not feeling too well before the fight, so clearly I felt like DEATH when I came in afterwards. Christine was sweet enough to capture the moment for me ha but I ended up going down in the books as the first "sick kid" this semester. Felt terrible all last week but am back to 100%!

Ya this is literally walking in the door from the fight! It was crazy but a ton of fun!

We have family dinners every thursday night with the FLI staff and their families and its a really neat time to hang out and fellowship around the dinner table. Look forward to Thursday family dinners every week. In the pict is Christine and a daughter of one of our professors, me, Emily, Marie Claire, (our resident supervisor), Sarah, and Angela! Awesome group of girls!
