Well, Hello.

My name is Olivia Perry and this is where I have written down my thoughts, struggles, and life story for the past 2 or 3 years (whose keeping count, anyways?). It began as a way to keep my family and friends back home in Dallas up to par on my adventures and time while going to Covenant College in Lookout Mountain. Georgia. Throughout my time there (I am entering into my Senior Year) it has transposed itself into being my thoughts on life, theology, and Jesus as well as my time at school and some of the incredible people I have met. I don’t know if I yet qualify myself as a blogger but I do enjoy writing and wrestling with stuff and I process way better through writing/talking it through.

As far as college goes, my time at Covenant has been hard, blissful, encouraging, stretching, frustrating, and sanctifying. I am forever grateful that my parents forced me, nicely, to go and check out Covenant when I was a senior in Highschool. Had I not of listened to them, I would be different. While that isn’t necessarily a bad thing, I am grateful for the ways in which the Lord has chosen to shape and mold me during my time at Covenant.

As I mentioned earlier, I am entering into my last year of undergraduate studies and am thinking about the future. If you know me at all you know that I am constantly looking ahead and trying to plan out my life. It hasn’t really worked for me yet so I am trying this new thing called, ‘God’ and letting Him do his thing. Cool idea, right?

I have options. I have possible opportunities. I just need Jesus, really, though. I’m excited to see where the Lord leads me and how He is going to shape me in my Senior year through the various people that I know and through my role as being a Resident Assistant.

So, thanks. Thanks for swinging by and checking this out. Sometimes you won’t hear from me for a while and at other times I’ll write a ton. Either way, I am humbled that you would even take this much time to read this and I hope that in some small way you are encouraged/challenged/refreshed not only by what you read here but much more by what the Lord is doing in me, personally.

On a side note, I love it when people comment on things that I write or post. So, please feel free to drop me a line. It’s nice to know that other people are out there and I’d love to dialogue with you about the things I write. Seriously

Being Renewed,

-Olivia
