Time flies when you are having fun...or are just super busy :)

As of today, I have entered into the blogging world again. After spending an amazing summer of doing missions in Slovakia and blogging every week, I discovered how amazingly refreshing it is to once a week recap what I am learning, what God is teaching me and other random happenings - not just for my own enjoyment, but for the enjoyment of others too.

Did I mention that I'm taking 19 units this semester?

I am crazy...I know. I'm doing this weird thing called double majoring - and I won't explain why. The story is so very long and arduous. But to make a long, arduous story short - my two majors are Biblical Studies and Corporate Communications. I love so much everything that I am learning, but I have to work ever so hard to learn it. It will be so worth it in the end, and it is even so worth it now :)

In one of my classes called "Personal Leadership" (it's about how to lead your personal life... :) We have been learning about the doctrine of vocation as it appears in the Bible. Vocation literally means "calling". I realized that my calling right now is to be a student. I desire to use what I am learning to help people in the hear and now - and maybe this blog can be a platform for that.

But - since you are all my friends and family, I also want to keep everyone posted on what is going on in my life - general happenings and funny events. I realized this past week (I'm not sure why I didn't realize this before) that I like to laugh more...alot more...than the average person. I seem to find humor in things that other people don't find funny at all...so I will use this blog as an outlet for the tons of the funny things that come across my path during the week - and maybe it will illicit a laugh or two out of you, if I'm lucky :)

Like the title of this post states, time is flying past me at the speed of sound in these college days. I am having fun - which is factoring into that - but I am also just so busy. God teaches me so much in my fast paced days - one of which is to slow down. He is teaching me so much about His grace - and it is amazing. It sounds so cliche, but I am really learning about God's grace for the first time. At least just now starting to understand it.

I love you all and I hope you are doing well! It is my hope that this blog helps me feel more connected to you and vice a versa.
