That's such a fabulous word. It expresses so much in just two syllables. :)
I have returned to Chicago. My final return as a STUDENT, granted that I finish the semester okay :) I am glad to be here. It is so different! I've moved into an apartment with two of my girl friends, right at the edge of campus. It's so pleasant to be sitting, typing this on my coffee table...with a couch behind me...a tv against the wall...a sandwich that I made in my kitchen....AH! Brilliant. It feels very fun, though a tad bit kiddish. Well guess what!? I can still be kiddish! No rulebook has it written that a 20 year old can't be a little immature every now and then ;)
One thing I love about being a student is that every semester is a new experience...a chance to BEGIN AGAIN at something. For me, a person that likes to set a goal and accomplish it, this is a great thing. I wonder how "real life" is? I fear beginning life after college and getting myself into a "stable" job or situation where there are no fresh beginnings....only big long-term goals...like retirement. I don't like the thought of retirement yet. Check back with me in 2 years and see if I say the same thing then... ;)
The idea of "ministry" continues to excite me. Though I definitely believe that the life of a Christ-follower IS ministry in whatever capacity, I am so thrilled at the prospects of full-time ministry in a setting completely dedicated to the discipleship of believers and love of the lost. What a cool thought.

At church today, pastor was giving us an example of PERSPECTIVE. He asked us to put punctuation in the following sentence:

enjoy your last semester at school! That is neat you have an apartment... how fun to do that for your last semester.
"woman: without her, man is a savage."
But I don't mean it in a feministic sense. God has used women to such high degrees. It was obviously bad for man to be alone in the beginning, so we created women. What would man have become without God's gift?
Jesus came through the miracle birth from a woman and because of that we have been led to the hope of salvation. :)
I like what you said about each semester being so different and new chance to begin again. I always loved that part of college - there was something definitive each semester, some new lesson God was teaching me, and it was easier to look back and see what it was. In the "real world" it seems like some trials or lessons are more drawn out and less defined. But it's equally as beautiful. :)
Is your address the same as the previous years? Enjoy your last semester Ems! Hope to see you soon-ish!
Love,
Michelle
Happy 21st Birthday!!!
