In an effort to introduce something new to the blog, I've decided to start the Sunday Seven. Today's addition: Seven Changes - there's been a lot of these happening lately!
1. The Move - it's finally complete. I've moved from my apartment into a house with 2 other girls (who've graciously allowed me to crash with them) in an effort to save on rent prior to leaving for Kenya.
2. The Laptop - this past week a package arrived for me that I was more than ecstatic about! My first laptop (yep, I made it through college without one) has arrived!
3. The Roomies - in the move I made, I gained two incredible roomies: Jessica Noelle (Preteen Coordinator at NMC) & Deandra Burkholder (Children's Ministries at NMC).
4. The Silent Night - I must say, it's a weird thing not to hear the trains going by anymore. My apartment was right next to the train tracks & while most times I didn't think I really noticed the trains...I do notice their absence. I think I may forever have to fall asleep to the sound of a fan...otherwise it's just too quiet!
5. The Pace - Life has been more than a little crazy this past month. And though things are still borderline busy, it's a different kind of busy. I'm thoroughly enjoying the "mini break" from all that has been stressful over the past month. I've come to really appreciate when life "slows down".
6. The Walk - Living so close to the church now, I don't have to get up in the morning & warm up my car or scrap it off before I can head to work. I can just walk across the parking lot! Since I thoroughly hate scraping snow & ice off my car, I think I'm really gonna enjoy the minute walk!
7. The Freshmen Girls of NMC - So today there was a temporary change in my schedule. The 9th grade girls youth class teacher was sick & so I was asked to fill in. Walking into the room I quickly realized, I don't know the freshmen class! I work primarily with Juniors & Seniors, so I haven't found myself interacting much with the freshmen. Boy am I missing out! These girls are hilarious, sweet, & genuine girls. I'm thankful to have met them & excited to take the opportunity to know them better!
