Where have all the bloggers gone?

I have decided that the pressures and demands of being adults has killed the blogging scene for my friends. Maybe it isn't the pressures. Maybe it is the lack of newness/ excitement. Who knows? I just know that I have significantly less things to connect me to people I use to feel very close to. But maybe that is just part of being an adult. It is interesting that blogging silence has left a void...

Been a long time...

Ya know, I sat down today to update this blog and realized that I don't have as much to say as I would like to. It seems once you enter the adult world of going to work, taking care of the house and going to bed life is not as interesting. Although, I would say that my job is.

First thing: Don't you hate how dirty things get SO quickly? I hate that my apartment does not stay clean at all! It reminds me of when I did five aspects of a woman and how Kathy hit home the idea that out environments tend towards death and destruction. They do. It is part of the curse. So random thought... my dirty apartment makes me want Jesus to come back or take me home sooner.

Second thing : Campus has been really good so far. It has been kind-of awkward figuring out where I fit in this whole thing. Do I do what I did when I was a student or something new? All the things I have been assigned to are new but my heart still aches for some of the visions God gave me in College. And when I say visions I don't mean actually visions but ya know the things I thought were important to give my time too!

Anyways, so I am leading an amazing FC study (freshman connection bible study) and it has just been such a joy. I am leading with 2 other leaders (Amy and jeanette) and we have had about 21 girls come off and on. God really just did that himself. Amy and Jeanette are awesome too. They have loved those women well!

I am also spending time giving leadership to the team of student leaders who lead FC studies. Me Jaci, Tom and Ben Chesnut have planned FC nights and student leader training times. I am actually giving a workshop at LESTER (our student leader team) in 2 weeks.

I am really enjoying living with Tracy and Sonya. They are so much fun and so much encouragment. They are probably the only factor in my life that makes me feel half-way like a normal grown-up.

There is a lot more to report but in the interest of reader interest I am done! :)

this weekend

I am leaving for the LESTER retreat very very soon. What an interesting thing. I remember thinking my Senior year that many of the things I was doing were "my last ..." It is weird to have them again but I am excited.

See ya!
