Well.

I don't know who reads this: probably not many more then the five who decided to "follow" me. Even then, I don't imagine that viewing is particularly regular for them. Regardless, I hereby announce that I was accepted to Biola University this morning. Oh goodness - I am so excited!

I didn't know that I was nervous about being accepted until I was. When my lovely admissions counselor, Donald, told me that he was printing out my acceptance letter as soon as we got off the phone, a wave of relief washed over me. I didn't even feel compelled to call anyone right away, I just jumped up and down to the Scott Olsen song that was playing in the background and thanked God for this blessing.

"Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song."

Psalm 95:1-2

The relief is making me giddy (probably in correlation with the wonderful 7.5 hours of sleep I got last night).

This good news aside, I am also stoked because of some new fellowship I have found on campus. My neighbor Kate and I have been working out and praying together every night. We want to glorify God with our bodies and with our attitudes and work ethic. Getting to know this girl has been such a joy! God has provided what I have been praying for for MONTHS: fellowship here on the Linfield campus; someone who is excited to be pursuing God with her life; someone who understands the loneliness I experienced last semester.

That said, God is good. God provides. Praise Him!
