new beginings...

I have now been in back in New York for almost a week. My winter break was all that I could have asked for and so much more. It was great to see my friends and family, and it is always nice to be able to Jazzercise. While i was home I found so many people saying "it's like you never left". When I first heard this comment it really didn't make me too happy. I was kind of sad that people weren't like "wow, I missed you so much I don't know how I survived without you!" I know... it's a little unrealistic, but hey... thats how I felt. But in thinking about this comment I have realized that I should be so grateful for the fact that everything can be the same even when I have been away for four months. It is strange to think that I can pick up a relationship right where we left off even though I haven't seen that person in such a long time. It is an amazing thing that I have now learned to appreciate.
While being back at Wagner College, I have had the opporunity to play some really lame "getting to know you" games during RA training. I really don't like these games but I am also pretty thankful for them. During a game of "crossing the line" a question was asked about religion and not one person on the RA staff said that they were athiest or agnostic. I was very impressed with the fact that everyone on the staff identifies themselves with a religion. It has also been neat to see different people that I work with bring their bible to "show and tell" and say that it is their most important possession. It is crazy how God puts us in these situations and you never know what He will do next. I am excited to see why God has placed so much of Him right in front of me... maybe I needed a big reminder or maybe it is to touch someone else, but whatever it is I am sure He will make an impact.
