I wanted to update so I thought I would write something even though I don't really have the time.
SO I went to KS this weekend! KS has become my second home. Clayton is back from Iraq! What a huge blessing of God. I am absolutely humbled that God would grant my family the privilege of having him back. You think that would be enough to make a girl really happy but instead I was pretty depressed this weekend. Probably mostly the my younger brother is married and moving into his first house and I am not dating anyone blues.
Well I have some flowers to deliver to some lovely ladies in the dorms and a Bible study to prepare so I must go!
Yay I updated...

KS, Phils birthday and bears oh my!
All of the sudden I am very self-conscious of what I am writing about on my blog. I always wonder if anyone wants to hear about the subtelties of life from my corner. BUT on account of the fact that I refuse to be super emo on the blog and am not that politically minded accounts of my life is what you get!
I went to KU this weekend and saw Jer Bear (aka Jerry Bridges) preach on the glory of God with my fantastic Nav staff cohorts. That was a good time! I stayed up until 3 am the first night we were there talking to Tracey M (who is staff at KU). That was definitely the highlight for me but it was also the thing that probably ruined the rest of the weekend/ beginning of this week. I am SO stinking tired. Oh well. It was still good times.
Yesterday we celebrated Phil's birthday by watching the Super Bowl- just for him! Arent we good friends? (read very fecisiously). His actually birthday is today SO Happy Birthday Phil!
Well, I am off. See that is the update on my life. If I possesed the capacity to be emo on a blog I might talk about what it is like to try to cling to God when what He asks of your life is not what you want (which seems to be the repeated story of my life). Or talk about the sadness of losing a member of my church body in Iraq this week. But I dont think I possess that capacity.

this is definitely substituting for real human interaction
I wanted to write and just be excited about what happenned on campus tonight. First of all, I just got home (it is 1:15 a.m.) and I spent the whole night talking with strangers (most of whom I assume are not believers) about life, Jesus and the Bible. It was SO fun.
We had our first evangelistic Bible study in Abel tonight. There were probably 10 or 11 folks there. A couple guys and the rest were girls. We talked about why people kill in the name of religion, if it was important to explore your faith and whether or not the Bible was true. And it was honest good discusion. The coolest thing though was that even after it was done people kept coming by the room. We would give them pizza and they would ask about our "Bible discussion" and invite themselves to come the next week. There were probably 5 extra people that stopped by as the night went on.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!
I love my job!

ponderance before bed
If you seek to validate a rumor you have heard by typing it into google and do not find it can you assume the rumor is incorrect?

adult life
Alright, how many of you hate being an adult? Managing your own finances, having your overdeveloped college sense of idealism crushed, finding fellowship in the realm of the real world, finding meaning in life. All of these things have compounded recently to make me frustrated with life in the real world as an "adult."
But tonight was a moment when I saw hope in the midst of all of that. I started in a small group at church. It was so fun. We are doing this book called Fire and Reign. Tonight we shared about our different struggles in giving God full reign in our life. It was so sweet. There are people in this world that are in my stage of life that are trying to find their way and want that way to be one that brings honor to God! Wow! I am pumped.
Other than that, I saw End of the Spear this afternoon with my freshman. It was good but I am still unsure what to think of the Christian movies that have come out recently. I am really curious if they have any value to a nonbeliever.
Anyways, despite the beginning of the post I am really encouraged. It has been a good weekend. Guess who is still going dancing later tonight?
