Hello!!!!!!

  Wow, what a change these past four weeks have been.  Going from living at my parents home, attending my home church, having my own room to living dorm style with 2 complete strangers, finding a new church, and not seeing my family for 4 weeks.  It has been difficult, but God is ever so faithful and strong! I have loved every moment of it even in the dark moments of sadness.  There is always a light at the end of the tunnel (literally the hallway light is always on).
    God has definitely brought some amazing Godly women into my life who I have already started to become close friends with. It's funny when one of them does something and all I can think of are my friends back home and how they do that exact same thing.
   I feel blessed beyond belief to have this opportunity to go Bethel.  My professors pray and lead small bible studies before class.  They don't only care about how we are doing in the class, but how we are doing spiritually as well.  If any of you ever come down to visit you must come to Vespers.  Vespers is Sunday night worship service that is only supposed to last an hour, but has gone over every time this school year.  We spend one hour singing songs of praise to our wonderful God.  Then there is Chapel, I will admit I have skipped several, and I have taken naps in a few others, but just the environment of the room is phenomenal!
I think one of my favorite things is randomly running into my Bemidji peeps.  It's nice to have someone who truly know you as a person here during this transition, even if I only seem them every other day.
   Well I have to head off to work, I just want to challenge you all to love God with every fiber of your being, that is what he is challenging me to do.
Love forever
Belle
