Hey, friends and fam! Just finished a lovely campus walk, and I'm writing from Lakewood, Colorado tonight!
This = yesterday morning after our first session, me with Dr. Ryan Burkhart and Dr. Selin Philip, my two favorite professors at CCU -- I could and would so happily listen to them talk all day!
I enjoyed the 10-hour drive on my own, just listening to music and audiobooks and chatting with Mom and Chet Lee!
Despite a poor night's sleep and the weather being a bit dreary and rainy this time, I feel incredibly grateful for the presence of God, the support and wisdom of the CCU faculty, and the growing sense of community and belonging!
Me and Alicia (love her - she did her Masters at Dallas Theological Seminary and she's super fun and we've had some great talks here) headed to grab some coffee (for her) before our last first day of school!!
❤❤❤
My team won the Haiku challenge, a silly team-building project, but still fun to be in the winning group! =)
PhD pen - YAY! lol
The girls after our dinner at Farmhouse Thai Eatery last night... Alicia, Terri, Laura, me, Charisse, Heather, and Michelle! Terri lives close to campus, but the rest of us are roommates! =)
❤❤❤
All our classes have been in the new chapel building, the Armstrong Center! ❤
Dr. Philip teaching on Biblical Foundations was everything I could hope for - she has so much wisdom, and you can just tell she knows Jesus well!
Anyway, I'm headed to bed because I'm getting up for an early breakfast meeting tomorrow! The first two days here have been great, and I expect nothing less from the next two! I've had some good time to process and pray and think about the life and identity God is calling me into. I'll write a more detailed recap on Monday! Best of luck to Chet Lee and Mark Anthony in the Tulsa Tough bike race tomorrow morning... and Happy belated 1st Birthday to Miss Holly Marie yesterday!
❤ ❤ ❤
