How then shall we live?

As a Christian, how should I be living my life? I have to ask myself this question sometimes. In the middle of this crazy, fast paced world that we are living in, I still want my answer to remain the same - my life should be lived for God and for others. This semester I will be studying in Rwanda and Uganda, and doing mission work with Food for the Hungry. These next few months I want to make a drastic change in my life by living not for myself, but for others. Through my studies and my interactions I hope to find a new and better understanding of what it means to be a child of God. I want to leave with no question in my mind that there is so much more to my life than my own happiness. I want to make my Creator proud, by loving his children.

Tuesday

So the internet hasn't been working on my computer the last two days and I was psyched when it came back on for me tonight and I got to post all the blogs I had written in Notepad onto my site :)

Today I woke up to thunder and lightening. The rain was coming down hard and fast. I groaned because I didn't want to walk a mile in nasty weather to sit for three hours in wet clothes. Yes I have a rain jacket, but that's only good for the top half of me! None of us wanted to be the one to do it, but I eventually asked Kate if she could have Dr. Mpagi come to the house instead of to the club. She said yes and went to pick him up so we could stay here for class. It was awesome. I found my fluffy red Christmas socks and wore them in honor of the occasion. It was so nice for it to be chilly and to get to wear jeans, a sweatshirt and fleece socks.

After class we had yummy grilled cheese and curry sandwiches with soup. Kate took my group to Ciao-Ciaos for ice cream because a few weeks ago we won a contest during the matatu challenge. Then I watch "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" and took a nap until dinner. I spent an hour in the spare bedroom reading the play for tomorrows discussion - Death and the King's Horseman. Then I worked on the homework and studied with the girls. We seriously have so much fun hanging out with each other.

Everyone is off either playing cards or doing homework. I am updating my blog, Facebook, and checking email. then I need to proof read my homework for tomorrow. I am really unhappy with how it turned out, but I don't consider literary analysis to be one of my strengths, or one of my interests, so I did my best.

Just wanted to give a shout out to Grandma Lackey - I love you, and I am going to try to give you a call soon if I can!
