In one day I will be jumping on a plane and leaving my dear California home to enter a new life in Wheaton, Illinios. I don’t really know how I feel about blogging at the moment because there are a bunch of blogs that I’ve read that seem to have to real point except for people to describe the daily activities of their life with some humorous language or reflective tones. I have to say I appreciate some blogs very much, while others seem to be just part of the growing blog trend and the posts are written out of obligation to the readers.
I am deciding to start a blog because I feel like I am entering a very new and different stage in my life and want to document the lessons I learn and the experiences that shape who I am as a person, hopefully also serving as an encouragement to whoever decides to read this.
I believe that God has called me to Wheaton College in Illinois. This is a private Christian college about 1 hour west of Chicago. It’s a school that I think will be different from anything that I am used to because 1) I’ve always attented public schools and 2) I’ve always attended secular schools (kinda self explanatory because I don’t think public schools can have religious affiliations). I don’t know what is will like to be at a school where some students have attended Christian schools their entire life. I don’t know what it will be like to attend a chapel service every day of the week. I don’t know what it will be like to meet people from over 30 different denominations. I don’t know what it will be like to surround myself with Christians, perhaps joyful, perhaps crazy.
I trust that since God has called me here, there will be a purpose to every new thing that I experience and learn. I pray that I can just use these blogs as a means of exposing the infinite greatness and goodness or my God.
goodbye for today.
“He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end. I know that there is nothing better than to be happy and do good while they live. That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil– this is the gift of God.”
-Ecclesiastes 2:11-14
