My Ninevah
I feel like Jonah. Granted, I'm not as a reluctant Jonah as Jonah was, but I'm still feeling God's hand moving me in directions that I am less than willing to head towards.
1. Young Life
What even is Young Life?? I had never heard of it until I came here. And I just signed up for it on a whim! I didn't realize what a huge commitment it was. Two years of service! When I found that out, I slowly tried extracting myself from the weekly meetings etc. Well, every SINGLE time I tried to skip, I believe that God has intervened. The first time I was sitting downstairs in the lobby, and Gian (a Young Life buddy of mine) just HAPPENED to walk past on his way to Young Life and asked me if I was coming. Other times it has been a phone call, and others have been more 'chance' run-ins. Oh well, I'm in too deep now. Ninev...I mean Young Life, here I come!
2. SMC
Now this isn't so much a Ninevah for me. I actually kinda do want to be a floor's Spiritual Ministry Coordinator next year. It's still another huge commitment, but this one is definitely more palatable to me. It will be a major learning/growing opportunity for me--so that's good.
God just keeps on surprising me with His opening of doors and his little nudges that get me through them.

you know, I have quite a few friends who are/were involved in Young Life, and a roomie whose parents are on the national board... and I still don't know what exactly it is!!
good to see God's stretching you and shaping you... nope, not always comfortable... but definitely a good thing!!
btw, it was SO good to see you Sunday!! I'm sorry we didn't have more time to visit and catch up! another time... we'll have to plan an hour or two!
You're so busy!! I'm tired of being busy. School alone is enough but we add work and church and groups on top of it. Plus I might be applying for a second job. My days are non-stop and my nights are for everything but sleeping. I'm afraid I'm going to crash soon. I would call you for a long chat but there aren't enough hours in the day. Next time I do have a spare moment I am dying to tell you about my crazy weekend w/ Katy. I love you like no other. ok bye.
