So..I+retreat= †

So, Friday afternoon, I'm in anticipation to get out of my last class of the week! Now, the reason was because in several hours I would be at my very first, New Hope retreat! (hooray). So the first night, Friday night, was still iffy, I had gotten to know some people before the retreat, but not so much the whole college group. But Dang, the feeling of welcomness (made up word) is something that rivals old Hope youth, they were super friendly, and most people will just be casual and talk to like what-ev. so all in all, I had made a bunch of new friends in a matter of a couple of days, and already I notice them around campus.. and that's pretty surprising, seeing that this school is huge. So at the retreat we had the first night of praise, it was kinda weird for me since their usual songs were ones I had either never heard of, or Old ones I hadn't sung in forever. After praise we go into small groups, >-> most people were either from western NY or from the city. One of my group leaders was from Ridgefield tho, i haven't asked him if he's heard of Hope lol. The whole retreat experience reaffirmed my faith in God, as my strong streak was wavering in these later times of college. Now, I'm part of the intermural volleyball team, I'm going to be attending Wednesday praise services, Friday night Praise, Sunday Service, and even another thing unaffiliated with the church on thursdays, and possible one mondays.. haha.. and I thought it would be hard to keep my faith in college. GOD MAKES A WAY. so all in all.. this week is going strong as one of my good weeks.

thanks to those loved ones back at home, I dont know why, I just feel you guys can use a good thank you ;]
