Two Weeks of Learning and Changing

Since I've come to Union, I haven't been back to Memphis. I like the trees (there are bigger ones than in my neighborhood at home) and the walking paths. World Lit. I and II are great so far. Somehow I find it so much easier to do my homework for those classes than others. But it has been a little more than two weeks and I don't plan on going home for almost two more weeks. I like how much simpler things are here. The inspiration is everywhere to me and makes me want to write; I wasn't really expecting that. I also wasn't expecting to spend so much time alone.

So, I spend a lot of time reading, walking, talking to Aaron on the phone, and, actually, some sweet prayer time as well. Old Testament is getting me to read three chapters in the Old Testament a day and it's great. When I'm left to myself, I tend not to read quite so much.

Today, I'm searching the shared libraries on iTunes. Someone's got a lot of James Taylor; I like it so far.

I could go on about how much I miss Aaron, but I won't put the readers through that except to say that God is using this in my life for as my Facebook says: "Of all feelings, perhaps pain is the most beneficial." And another quote that deals with Aaron: "Better than the ability to great things is the ability to rejoice with others when they do greater." I think he's the best actually.
