It's been pretty tough being at college these first couple of days. I feel like I have just been stripped of everything that makes me feel comfortable and thrown into the lions den. my room. my friends. my mom doing the laundry. my own bathroom. personal space. The list goes on and on, and I miss everything. I haven't really found my niche where I am comfortable yet, except for when I see people from Hinsdale Central that I already know. I'm fairly shy so its been tough to force myself to go out and meet new people, though I have been able to do so.

However, no matter how uncomfortable I may feel, I am mostly enjoying my time though, and I know that I can be comfortable with the faith that I have in Jesus Christ, knowing that His plan for me is perfect. This is the one thing that can and will keep me grounded in a place that is just so unfamiliar to me right now. So while I am just waiting for three weeks to fly by where I can finally start to feel comfortable, I know that right now I can find my comfort in the unconditional love that God has for me. I know that this time will pass and I will be comfortable and uncomfortable many times, but the one thing that stays consistent is God's love and care for me. That is something I can find comfort in.
