Glad to be Here

Its been quite a while since I've written, and I really don't have any good reasons why I haven't, but lately things have been taking a decidedly encouraging turn, so I thought I'd end the silence and write a little.
So Denver has been pretty quiet. You'd think that I would be super busy all the time like most of my peers seem to be, but surprisingly I've had it pretty easy in terms of schedule this semester. School has been a very pleasant surprise in that I've been enjoying it for the first time in a long time. Oddly enough, my favorite class is not my geography class, but my psychology class. Its just an intro class, but its been so interesting to learn about the brain and how it works and our latest unit was on sleep and memory which I found very interesting because I no longer feel bad about having to get more sleep than some might think is 'normal'. Needing 9-10 hours a night is perfectly fine, that's just how I'm wired, so there! Anyway, for the most part I enjoy my classes, but I am definitely looking forward to next semester because hopefully I'll be taking 5 geography classes, which means that I'll be getting into the meaty part of my major, so that's definitely a plus! Also, I found out that its possible for me to graduate next December!!! While I'm really excited to be done earlier than expected, its also scary because that means that I'm going to have to figure out what to do earlier than expected... So we'll see how the next year or so pans out. The one thing I do know is that the Lord is in charge, and I will go wherever He leads.
Let's see, things here really aren't that exciting...but I can say the God has been doing some amazing work on my heart and healing a lot of hurt that has been there for a long time. It is such a blessing to have this opportunity to completely rely on Him in a way that I've resisted before, but now its really my saving grace. I honestly don't know what I'd do without the knowledge that I have a Savior who loves me and who is constantly wrapping His arms around me, and that He is walking beside me holding my hand every step of the way!
