Update

Wow, I haven’t written on here in a long time! A lot has happened since my last entry. Ministry week was awesome. I absolutely loved it. My billets were cool, even though they lived 40 minutes outside the city we were working in. We did a lot of driving. Ended up in a ditch at one point. ;) If you want to hear about that one, ask me sometime.

Shortly after ministry week, we headed out on two week break, which was actually 18 days. That was absolutely amazing! I have to say, I was slightly worried about it at first because there were 13 of us in our group (we took a van and a car), and it’s hard to coordinate that many people. The first night camping pretty much sucked. We did a lot of arguing and getting annoyed with each other. But the next morning we prayed together, especially for unity in our group. And guess what? It happened! Things just got better and better after that prayer. The weather too. We had absolutely gorgeous whether the entire time. I mean, it was cold sleeping in tents and we had frost in the morning a couple times, but every time it rained super hard, we just happened to be staying with someone in a house! God is good!!

Hopefully you’ve seen my three albums of pictures on Facebook, but basically the gist of our trip was driving a lot, seeing lots of sights, bungy-jumping :D, and all sorts of other things. It was so much fun, and I got to know everyone so much better.

As soon as second term started, wow we had a lot of assignments. Bible studies to write, oral reports, study papers, organizing a big youth event called Breakthrough. It's crazy! I'd appreciate it if you'd pray for my stress levels. ;)

As for what I’ve been learning…well, I don’t know if I can even explain it. I feel as if I hadn’t grown at all last term, and now that second term is started, I’m just learning and growing like crazy! Simple truths that I always thought I understood have jumped out at me in new ways. Questions I didn’t struggle with before are coming up and confusing me like crazy. I wish I had a profound thought to share with you all, but I don’t. Well, except one...

It’s not about us. It’s about Jesus.
