strange, and how

so, I traveled down to an unspecified location to visit a university I'm looking at this weekend, and I was with people. many of them, in fact - this is a very large university, I was with people who have very interesting lives, and strangely ... I came out of it fine.

see, there is an unspecified amount of stress I always experience when with people. and I guess it's normal for me - I come to expect it, and account for it, and then deal with it later, after trips or long weekends of lots of people, because I do not deal with people very well.

but this weekend was different. I've been trying to pray an hour a day because this is just 1/24th of my day, and God deserves much more. I was feeling sick about the trip before we embarked - nerves, muddled emotional state, and other things - but slowly as the trip went on, my nausea went away and was replaced with peace.

peace that I asked for from God.

the weekend was amazing. I got to meet up with some very good friends, have a lot of fun, and learn more about God and His call, and how His will is perfected in our lives.

instead of the >_< *exhausted* sort of feelings I usually have right after a long weekend with extended socializing, I am rested. I am peaceful. I am looking forward to what God has for me. I am waiting on Him.

..and kind of procrastinating on homework.

I shall get to that.

also, perhaps I will revive this blog. trouble has blown over, praise the Lord.
