That's what my phone is telling me. I have a countdown until the first day of school. It would be until I return to Redding, but not sure when that's going to be yet. All I know is that number means that I will be in Redding in approximately one month. And even though I know everyday that the number in the countdown will be one number smaller, I still like to check it and make sure it is. If you haven't guess, I am SO excited to be back at Simpson.
I'm at the point where I miss EVERYTHING. Not just my friends, my church, and my favorite classes, but everything. I miss people I only recognize by their face and not name. I miss the caf, if that's possible. I miss praying that I don't get hit by sprinklers on the way to class. I miss mornings where I wake up 15 minutes before I'm supposed to be in class and freak out. I miss it all.
Most of all, I miss the sense of community. That we all worship the same God, and have the same heart for Him. That our purpose is to love, and we know that. I feel like the God I met at Simpson is a one that's foreign to most of the people I know. That it's the same God, of course, but it's like Simpson opened up my eyes to a whole different side of Him, a side that is desperately in love with me, and I with Him. A God that I can pray to an see an exact answer to that prayer. He is still here with me, but I don't know how to share Him with others. I miss the trust that people can put in God and honestly believe that He will provide, and He does.
I am pretty sure I have decided to spend my next summer in Redding, and hopefully on a missions trip. We'll see what God has in store for me.
