Light bulb of bright ideas

This weekend i went to the beach and went camping with the college. It was the most amazingly relaxing and enjoyable weekend i had had since I got here. Seems like i'm always just chillin' and never working that hard. I guess i shouldn't complain.
The weekend went as such! Friday we boarded our buses (coach by the way) and drove 1 1/2 hours to the camping site. The whole way in allyson and I watched a funny chick flick, the sweetest thing. Upon arriving we were told the campground rules and then set loose to find a cabin suitable for us. The group of girls I usually hang out with (allyson, Brittany, Victoria, and Heather) got a cabin all to our selves. After situatating out selves we hang around talking with other friends and took a stroll down by the beach. The beach we literally 2 seconds from the eating place. It was so beautiful.
The rest of the night consisted of worship, a late very menial dinner, more worship, and then some more worship. They keep us up until 11:30 having testimonies and singing praise songs. So as soon as it was over we went straight to bed.
The next morning we were woken up by loud music, as a breakfast call. After attempting a rigid cold shower we were ready for the rest of the day, and it was a beautiful day. Between sabbath school and church I was tired of sitting so I took a walk to find my own time with God.
As i sat on a heavy rock, surrounded by the waves crashing around me, I thought and dug around in my memories to expose the tender emotions i hadn't felt for a while. I began to miss the soft warmth of my parents embrace, the consistent calls of friends, and the independence lingering untouched. Soon i came out of my day dreams and engulfed the beauty that stood before me.
Much of the day went by with out a thought of my recent sentiments and such i enjoyed myself. Games, meeting new friends (mostly Romanian hotties) and walks by the beach became the very flow of my day.
Before i knew it the weekend was over, and as i walked up the hill to my dorm room, i thanked God i had a warm place to call my own.
