pick up the pieces
It's so amazing how life can seem so random at times but then you step back and see how all the pieces fall right where they belong. One thing that I never doubted throughout this was that God would take care of us. It was like I could hear Him telling me "It's ok" the whole time. And I know that our lives will be changed for the good. So I just had to start off and say that all of this is for the glory of God, and that makes it good.
I tried my hardest to find a home with at least one of my roommates, but it just didn't work out. We all have a different plan, but we are all taken care of so I am happy for that. I am no longer a stray, I have a room in the Young Life house. Janelle really helped me out, I am so thankful and even excited about my new home and roommates. I love my old roommates, and I know we'll still be really close even though we aren't living together.
On Monday we went to claim our possessions, and most of mine made it. So far my electronics even still work, but I have to check my laptop still. The only stuff that was destroyed was some art I'd done and all of my posters that were on my walls, and the cd jackets that I'd had bordered my room with. All of my summer shirts and tops and my books and dresses are missing too, but I think Betsy took them by accident. I just really want my purple gown and my Moroccan costume back, those can't be easily replaced.
I can't thank everyone enough who has helped me, prayed for me, and been there for me. <3
