new roommate

I was handed a Valentines Day card with such a romantic phrase scripted on the page. It's such a beautiful drawing I couldn't resist showing you guys.

I have great friends. Despite my rants on loneliness, I really do love my life, believe it or not. They share my love for creative ideas and therapeutic writing. It's nice to be able to connect with people on more than just a surface level because I've gotten in this rut of waving my hand to a million people who I know nothing about. I don't know what makes them who they are, what makes them tick, I just know their name so I wave because that's all that connects us. I love having people in my life that I can say personal things to do, that appreciate me for who I want to be and love me. Because love is such a great thing to have.

Next semester I am switching dorms and that provides me with such a great feeling. It's such a relief because I'm able to room with my best friend now, someone I can actually depend on and trust. My former roommate and I love each other, but we both found people we fit better with so a switch was made and everyone is happy. The Spring will be a great beginning for me. I will have new classes that do not involve the Science building at Harding, I will have new friends that love me oh so very much, and I will be in a musical called Spring Sing. It's kind of a big deal here.

God has been watching over me this semester. He cares for me, and he wraps me up in love when I'm feeling not so very loved. I'm seeking to find my contentment in my relationship with Him, instead of the relationships I'm making with the people around me. God is constant and God never fails.

It's peaceful over here. Occasionally it gets rocky, but for the most part? Peaceful.
