Entry Forty Four: Preparation and prayer

As unusual but not expected,  so much has changed over the past couple of weeks, and so much has happened. I was called back by an organization called Christian Encounters, they stopped by Shift a month ago and I turned in my volunteer form. I spoke with the director of the organization and he has sent me application packet to fill out and mail back. I am still praying if this is where God wants to put me because I also have a summer mission trip to consider.

In fact just last Thursday I had my mission trip interview at CCV. I was so nervous at first but then realized that God has my back. I sat down and Danielle Frasier and David Sill were in the room and I spent most of my attention focused on them. They asked me a few questions and I answered them the best I could. A part of me now feels I may have answered them too well, possibly reviled my geeky perfectionism which occasionally presents itself in serious situations. But like I said, overall I think it went good, after all I am leaving this all up to God. 

It is finally the weekend and I am able to rest. Tonight I had two very fun and interesting things happen tonight. The first one was a divine appointment at a gas station, I lent some money to a man and then he opened up sharing some of his story. After listening to a few minutes I recommended him to Joey to help get his feet back on the ground. Then finally before leaving we prayed, I thought it was the coolest thing I have ever been able to do. From the gas station I headed to Hollywood to meet up with friend to Church. She was invited to a Wax museum to shoot some pictures and have fun - I tagged along. 

Before I forget to mention it  - School is still going well, but even though the work load isn't all that large its still draining. However I am continuing to push through it. I checked my grades last friday and right now I am passing all my classes, I just need to continue turning in my work on time and showing up to class. This semester is going to be over before I know it. I really think that this semester is giving me a lot of training and preparatory work for things God is going to bring into my life this summer. I am so incredibly excited! 

I need to go to bed, ill try and continue this tomorrow. 

Entry Forty Three: Week Five of College!

I cant believe that it has blown by this fast already. I have been having such an amazing time here! The professors are channeling, they really make you think. All of them put a Christian emphasis on what they teach, try to incorporate scripture into the topic - its all very interesting!  However they are also lenient and understanding, not to legalistic when it comes to turning things in. Unlike the last school I went to, you could by dying and they wouldn't care... points would still be deducted.

The students are also amazing. Everyone is still on the buzz of a new beginning. Some rebuilding old relationships, others creating new ones, and then some still searching. Everyone here has such a kind heart and positive perspective, just walking around the campus seeing everyone else really helps lift my attitude. Also, I truly admire the peace that can be found here, its like bible camp, everyone is just so free spirited and ready to learn, ready to grow, really ready to just keep on living!

I was put into a transfer group at the beginning of the year that I forgot to talk about, it was pretty cool. They have planned a few activities, like trips to the beach, but I haven't been able to attend them due to my schedule. Just a week ago I was also put into an Alpha group for my beginnings class. I wasn't too stoked about it at first (because they are all freshman), but after getting to know everyone things have worked out. Its been fun so far, we had a paint war the other week - was a blast!

My academic progress has been sufficient... I think. Although today I got a small whack of reality. I turned in an assignment late to my PE class, and then missed two assignments for english. Thankfully because of the Grace of God, and my professors understanding he gave me points for the PE assignment. My english professor also is also giving me points as long as I turn everything in on monday. Speaking of monday, I have a midterm to study for this weekend for my ministry class. Thins are really piling up!

Wish I blogged more, I have been so lazy on here....
