Life at 5280ft

So I'm sitting on campus, supposedly doing some actual school work right now, but I can't seem to motivate myself to start typing about my comm class, so instead I'm going to muse on my first few weeks in Denver. First of all, I love this city and I am incredibly blessed to live here. It is unlike anywhere I've ever lived before. By that I don't mean that its completely foreign, but there's something about being here that is so different and exhilarating, its kind of hard to put into words. My classes are all great, there are a few that aren't quite as exciting as others, but they are all interesting in their own way, so that is quite refreshing and a very pleasant surprise! With the convention last week, we had no school, and it kind of threw me off of the routine I was getting into, so now trying to get back into it is a challenge, especially because I'm leaving again the day after tomorrow... I think I'm kind of resigned to the fact that its not going to happen until after I get back from DC and have a chance to really dig in and get a schedule going. Oh! One thing that I have to say is that people here are so kind and friendly! Obviously not everyone is nice all the time, but the people I've met have been so nice and helpful, it is so refreshing! I'm starting to get involved with Campus Crusade, which is an enormous blessing, because my biggest worry coming here was that I would have trouble finding Christians to plug in with, but God is providing an awesome community for me to get into! But I'm also really enjoying getting to know my roommates and spend more time with them. The first couple weeks here, I was spending a lot of time alone in my room, but now that I'm more settled, it has been a lot of fun to get out of my room and enjoy being with my roomies...who are hilarious! The job search is still ongoing, but hopefully when I get back next week that will work itself out as well :) My time here so far has been a process of adapting to a new place and seeing how faithful God is when we follow where He leads and take that leap of faith. His provisions in all of this have been incredible and are an ever present reminder of how blessed I am and how incredible my Lord is!!!
