A Day in the Life of a Faith Student

I'm so excited! It was incredible to be home for the summer and spend time with my family, but I was definitely ready to be back to school! And now, I'm here!It has been so much fun catching up with all of my friends. Plus, I'm actually excited about my classes. I didn't expect that at all, but after thinking about last semester and how much I enjoyed those classes, I couldn't help but get excited about what I would be learning this semester.

Since it was only the second day back, today was a really busy day. I had four classes: Doctrine I, Matthew, Western Civ, and Speech. I'll admit, it was a little overwhelming to find out everything that will be due this semester, but it won't be so bad since I have all semester to do it!

After my 11:00 class, I went over to Benson Hall to have lunch with my friends. I had forgotten how good the food in the dining hall is! I had a delicious chicken wrap today. Thankfully, I had time to sit down a chat with my friends. Sometimes I'm so busy, I have to grab something at the food court and rush on to the next thing. At least they have that food court, it's helped me out lots of times!

After classes, I had a busy afternoon.I got back to my room and had 20 minutes to change and get ready for work. It's been a blessing to have a job right here in Ankeny. I was so excited last semester when I got to share the gospel with one of my coworkers. I wonder what opportunities God will provide this semester! After work I grabbed some dinner, and decided to dive into some of my homework. I got some of my reading done. I think I'm really going to enjoy these books I have to read for class, even though there are a lot of them!

Oh, I forgot to mention, how beautiful the campus this time of the year! The school's maintenance staff really got the campus ready for school. The many tree-lined sidewalks on our campus make for delightful walks to the different buildings.

Well, dorm devotions are going to start in a few minutes. I am really looking forward to it! My RA always brings a good devotional, and it's so nice to fellowship with all of the other girls in my dorm. I can't wait to hear about their breaks and how God worked in their lives. I'm so thankful to be a student here! God is good. Well, that's all I have time for right now, good bye until tomorrow!
