The Adventure Called Life Day 341...welcome to BETA ONE...

and so it begins...the chaos as begun to descend on the floor. I am super excited to get to know each of these beautiful girls!

The PA's are running around, getting all of their core group peeps their goodie bags. They will be meeting at the plaza at 4 pm.

I love this job, I love it! I am so blessed to be on this floor! It is filling up and I might slip out to grab some lunch. First to find where it is...

The Adventure Called Life Day 333...welcome to Beta One...

My room rocks :) I am a single RA this semester, and I frankly. I love it! The room is great. I have my stuff on one side, and the other side is completely for my residents. I have a big black leather sectional, funky pink and black area rug, TV and DVD player. My fridge has some soda, and some chips and salsa, yogurt, vitamin water, you know, stuff girls like :) I am so excited for this year. The entire Lowell Staff is fantastic. The girls are looking forward to having the hall completely women. I am very excited for that as well. It looks like tomorrow we head to MICHINDOH for a couple of days. I shall post those blogs when I get back. I think I'll leave my computer at school. I am going to be on it enough for the next months. It will be nice to leave it. I think I will hide it and obviously lock my door and window. The Occupied sign should keep people out  as well. Well its after midnight, closer to one. I should get some sleep.

The Adventure Called Life Day 323...flowers of the field...

Today I started piecing together door decorations. My Grandmother brought over a hot glue gun, so I should be able to finish them all tomorrow. WOW. I might even get the floor verse done as well. I am just way ahead of myself. This gives me the entire week to think about what I want to take and pack it up. I do need to relax, I have been running around a lot lately. We just went on vacation last weekend, then the first three days of this week I was in Marshall, now I am home. I should just relax.

I am looking forward to this fall. I get more excited everyday for this opportunity that God has given me. He is amazing. I am so thankful to be able to be praying for my girls by name now. Its really cool. So, relaxation tomorrow is on the menu :) goodnight.

The Adventure Called Life Day 164...resident assistant...

so now begins my journey to taking my residence on BETA 1. yes, you read right. I am going to be the first woman RA on BETA 1 on the campus of Spring Arbor University! I am super super super excited for this!!! God is so good.
I have been asked by Student Development to consider the following words as I prepare my heart to serve in this way...
“... whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be the slave of all.  For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Mark 10: 42 - 45


such an encouragement to my life that these people have chosen me to be the RA of BETA 1. I have all of these various ideas swirling around in my head, all of these verses buzzing around as possible visions for our floor. I know that they will put new carpet in, and make it livable for the women coming in, I just couldn't get the vision out of my head that they would subjected to the ridicule that comes along with being the first floor of women on Beta 1!


and i've just received some inspiration. Is it weird that I already have a theme and a theme verse for the year next year? lol....thanks God!
