a rare occasion

Ok, its a Tuesday, in the Spring semester of my junior year, and its the first Tuesday where I'm not completely drained emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Not to mention its the first Tuesday where I'm in a good mood. This is amazing. And I can't even figure out why I'm not having a bad day. I'm short on sleep, have a lot of homework, have been doing homework constantly for it feels like forever, and I have four classes, plus jujitsu later tonight. But today feels different.

A quick observation: it seems like for the first two years that I was at Rutgers, I felt like I was the only Christian on the whole campus of what- 15,000 students? More than that? I don't even know. And then this year, my junior year, suddenly I'm meeting all these new people and a good portion of them are Christians, but I wasn't actually seeking them out. We would meet for other reasons. It just feels weird, because... where were they the other two years?

And the last thing I have to say before I go to the other half of my classes for the day is this: Only a few times in the past have I felt as if God is walking right beside me, everywhere I go, and its been happening today. Usually I feel as if God is watching over me, sort of the concept of the old guy in the sky. But today, it feels like he's not just over me, he's right there with me, going through everything with me. I don't know where this feeling came from, and as much as I hope it would never go away, I know that there will be other times in my life where I feel like everyone, even God, is distant. But for today, if you see me on the street, maybe you'll catch sight of two pairs of footsteps in the mud instead of one. Would anyone care to join me-n-God on a stroll sometime?

Ok, I'm a little corny today... kangaroo!! La de da. Whatever, I should stop boring you. Off to class. Bye.
