Muddy knees and a woman power moment

I went to an OB event yesterday and immediately felt creepy. For the first time in my GCC experience, I felt out of place. So I left, depressed that an era of my life was fading away. I went on a walk because my hall is super humid (which also makes everything fall off the walls....stick, dammit!) and was enjoying the rain and the creek...and then I slipped in a puddle of mud.
But it was ok, because I had a power moment then. I feel like last year I would've wished I had a boyfriend to catch me, or a mother to coo over my scrapes. This time, I didn't care. I walked across the quad, with misty rain all around me, talking to God, and telling Him I didn't need anyone else. In that moment I was so fulfilled and content. It was refreshing to see inside my heart and see that He had cleared up a lot of clutter in there this summer, and that it carried over to college, too.
