SO I was just reading in my new testment book, and it was decribing the city of Jerusalem and the mountains that surround it. I cant help but compare it to where I am now. Not in anyways saying Denver is a more holy city. But just the fact that God created the mountains and the foothills I see everyday on my way to class for his glory.
My love I am slowly developing for the mountains here is one of the most expected and unexpected things about ccu. I knew I was going to love them, but i did not realize how important they would be to me. When I walk to class and I see the foothill that peers over campus, it is as if I am seeing the majesty of God in one snapshot. These mountains are indeed capturing my heart, and changing my life.

This time next week i will be living in Colorado, i will be all moved into my dorm and everyone will be there. Thats an exciting thought.
I Keep thinking about the events that got me to the place I am

From growing up going to The Great Sacandaga Lake and developing a love of outdoors and skiing This love of outdoors that has made it so that every time I'm out in the wilderness, or even taking a walk on the golf course in my neighborhood, I literally never want to come inside (that is if the weathers perfect and no mosquitoes).

To going to skiing and how perfect that trip was, and how I thought for the first time, I never want to leave Colorado. A thought that has been extremely present on every trip out there this year.

To going to scotland and even though it was a missions trip, the biggest thing I saw happen on that trip was to myself. I became me and started trusting in God, i fell in love with him. My going to CCU would not of been possible without this trip.

To praying about CCU my senior year being so positively sure that it was the right school for me and so positive that I could never go to a school that far away.

To moving to Wichita and once again opening up the idea of CCU in my head.

And then the Day I was accepted, I will never forget that day.

To all the thoughts and dreams I have for my 3 years at CCU, i know these will be three years I will never forget.

It's been been a crazy crazy adventure, and I have treasured every step of it. I am so excited to see the second chapter of my CCU book and the changes, opportunities, and growth it will bring.

We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes (and communities and schools) to remedy this kind of poverty.
