I am thankful.
I am thankful for the amazing girls in my small group, they are such a rock for me to lean on in this broken, detached environment that is the social life at Sarah Lawrence. I am thankful for even a small group of Christians here even if we don't always see eye to eye. I prayed all summer for them to be here with me.
Something Zoe said in small group on Friday while we were praying for our last weeks here and the holidays really struck me. "God I pray that we pay attention to the important things in life over the holidays and not just waste our time on Facebook."
I recently deactivated my Facebook to make time for my end of semester papers and massive amounts of work. But I am just realizing that this is not the time I need my Facebook gone, it is when I am home. I don't need to constantly be on Facebook while I should be spending every moment with the people I love and rarely get to see.
I am so thankful for my amazing friends/sisters in Norman and I cannot wait to see them and to be refilled with joy and to be reminded what true community is.
I am so thankful for my family. Every spare minute I have should be spent with them... And not on Facebook. Facebook is a place to keep in contact with those people that you wish you were with. If I am with them why should I be on Facebook?
I cannot wait to come home for Christmas. It has been like a dream to be in the city for Christmas time but where I truly want to be is home.
5 DAYS. I'll be home for Christmas.
