A Few Words On the Last First Week of School
Well school started… so that’s a thing. Honestly, I’m glad
school started because it keeps me busy and helps me organize my time in an
efficient manner. One thing I’m not looking forward to is applying to schools,
but that’s another subject. So this year I’m leading Bible Study, which is such
a blessing, and I love meeting the new freshmen this year. However, this comes
with great responsibility, and I was not prepared for what being a Bible Study
leader actually entailed. This whole week has been stuffed with events for Epic
and we had to call around 300 freshmen, as well as go to about 120 dorms to
meet them. I look at those numbers and I see how much work we have to put into
this year, but when I look at those numbers I also see how much God is moving on
campus. 300 freshmen signed up! 300! For our club of 80-100 people those
numbers are great, and I’m amazed I get to witness this type of turnout. We had around 50 freshmen
come out to dessert potluck, which is definitely more than we had last year,
and I have met some of the sweetest girls… and a couple English majors YAY!
It’s definitely going to be a busy quarter, but I’m taking it one day at a
time, and so far I’m still functioning. I know that God will be with me and all
the other Bstud leaders this year, and I hope He moves in big ways this year! It was a bit discouraging to see the numbers drop in our first week of Community Group, but I know that God is going to reveal His plan in big ways (: Maybe this is just a transition year, or maybe this is a growing year. Who knows? Every year is just as important as the last and every year is a new season. We shall see how things are when I have like a million things to do and think about, but for now I'm going to enjoy my sleep while I can. Yes. Sleep.
