Not sure what to talk about

I'm having a blogging block. I don't know what to talk about. But, I've been thinking about my roomie who did that 25 things about me deal that everyone and their dog have done. (No, cooper didn't do one.. but it might show up in the future.) These three struck me:

5. movin to Kansas was the second best decision ive made. its kicking my ass and there is days I wonder why im here, and to tell you the truth, when I first decided to go here, other than the possibility of the vet school, i had no reason (and no its not because of Devin either)... to be honest Im still trying to figure out why God put me here, but I have no doubt that He will show me soon...
6. Speaking of God, I started going to church for the first time ever in October, and if Im in Manhattan I do not miss it. Ive met great people and realized a lot about my life and what I need to change ( im sure that will surprise many of you who have known me for a while)...
7. Even so, not all of my beliefs go along with my new religion. For example, I am still pro-choice, and that will not change, its just my opinion, you most certainly dont have to agree with me, but dont bother to argue with me about it.

I agree with number 7. Although you can argue it with me. I do not feel as though I should impose my beliefs on others. I'm not really sure what else to say on that. Anyhow, I had no idea until she posted this that she had never been until October. I don't know why I'm shocked, but it also kind of excited me. We had a good, albeit short, chat just now about why she decided to go having never gone before. She said she's always wondered about it and sorta felt like there's been something missing. something bigger. Awesome. I too don't know why I came here, but I came and felt like it is where I was supposed to be. Where I needed to be. And I have no way to explain that, except by some power greater than me -- greater than any of us. I'm not arrogant enough to say that I had any part in her decision to begin attending church, but I hope that I did. I'm proud of how strong she is to go to a church she's never been to before alone. She's brave. She goes to a bible study too which I think is neat. I know that she feels out of place sometimes, like she is so far behind. She doesn't know all of the common bible stories. I can relate. I still don't know a lot of them. That's what happens when they aren't burned into your mind going to church as a kid. I don't know how to help her as she embarks on this fairly new walk. But, I hope that God will use me in the ways he feels I am capable.
