God is love

verse if the day:
"We love because he first loved us." 1 john 4:19

this reminds me of last fall, how hard it was to accept my circumstances. i remember in 1 john 4:18, it said," there is no fear in love." then where do my fears come from? if nothing prevented love, then what prevents us from loving? i still dont understand, but atleast now i know that everything is going to be ok. Thank you Jesus.

starting the bible study is a bit rough. i dont think i can do it by myself-- i'm just a promoter, not a leader. dr. p seemed fine with having one. im having my first one-one tomorrow. i think i'll feel better about things afterwards.

i guess i can talk a bit about the people ive met so far.

Laarni: was one of the first people who i got to talk to, shes a really sincere person. i enjoy talking to her. she seems very light-hearted, and always smiling (but in a Fo'ReaL way.)

Curtis: he lives accross the hall from me. i had lunch with him today, and disclosed some of my anxieties. he seems pretty Fo'ReaL as well

Tyesha: she is probably the person who i am most comfortable talking with (we had steel pan together way back.) im glad shes here; unfortunately, shes only staying for the week, then going to IC.

Khadir: we met in KY building houses over spring break. he's in my group, i guess you could say that we are the more laid back people there (and we are both computer majors.)

Dan: he's also one of the first people i met. he seems pretty chill. we are the only two doing humanities research. his topic is ADHD (something that i am fairly familiar with.)

Jung Ha: she is like the polar opposite from me, also in my group. i dont know if we will ever hit it off-- we come from drastically different worlds. shes presents herself well and is liked/accepted where ever she goes. things just seem so much easier for her, she easily fits into her surroundings.

Nee Cee: my roommate, i met her in gospel choir. She has got a beautiful voice and a very friendly/charismatic disposition. im still not use to having a roommate, but so far so good.

thats it so far. i really need to get some research done.

quick thing about my anxieties, i think it is easily described as on the episode of the simpsons where lisa is just down for no apparent reason. at the end of the show, she jams with bleeding gums murphy on her bari.
