Blessings at Corban

This past week has been a little overwhelming! First, I moved into my dorm and met my roommate, who by the way is almost, creepily, exactly like me. Then I went to the church I'll be attending while I'm here at Salem. I spent Mon. & Tues. going through the rest of orientation. And yesterday, we had our first day of classes. Now through all of this happening, God has really shown me how truly blessed I am.



My roommate, if I didn't know better, is practically my twin! We like all the same things and have very similar values. It was a huge relief. God provided me with a roommate that is making the transition into college not only easy, but a joy! My RA is from Medford, and as I found out, her sister who is rooming with her went to Cascade Christian and recognised me from sports! What a small world!

Another one of the blessings is my core group. We are all from Southern Oregon and half of us are education majors. All but two of us played sports in high school, and we all seemed to just "click" right away. My core group leader is the assistant A.D. of the school and helped get me on the softball team. Our TA is a senior on the softball team and has helped me with info. all ready!

God has truly blessed me with a college whose first objective is to help us to become confident and competent Christians that will be prepared after four years to go out into the world and be a salt and light.
