These past 2 weeks have probably been some of my favorite weeks ever at JMU. I've never felt so restful and not totally insane while being at school. That was my fear coming into this semester. I was worried that I would get wrapped up in going through the motions and the schedule that's so easy to do here, that I wouldn't take time to enjoy the moment. I always seem to keep looking forward to and planning the next thing coming and not taking the time to just enjoy where I'm at.
Friday night my small group here at JMU had a little getaway to a house in Bridgewater. It was just what we needed. We carefully drove through the snow and when we got there immediately started doing what we do best...eating. You've probably never seen a group of girls eat as much as we do. We can do some serious damage. The night was spent learning swing dancing and salsa dancing, snacking on junk food, playing a great game of fishbowl, and falling asleep to Aladdin. We woke up to the smell of crepes and coffee (thanks Jules!) and enjoyed our breakfast together. There was no rush of having to be somewhere or do something which is so rare when our group meets every week. I'm so excited because we are going through the book of Esther this semester and I can't wait to see what the Lord is going to teach us. We had a time to share what was going on in our lives lately and had the chance to just be so real and vulnerable with each other. It was so great. These girls are so dear to me and I am so thankful for the privilege to grow alongside of them...
