Faith



It's been a while. . .life has been so busy! I am trying to learn what it means to "work hard, play hard, and rest hard". The "work hard" aspect comes easiest perhaps. . .but then so does burn-out! My work is increasing my faith in God. . .there are so many things to trust Him for, there would be no way to get through my day except to have faith in my perfect Father. As you can see by the picture on the left the "40 Evangelistic Conversations" goal has been met. I am in awe of the Lord! Really, the goal has been surpassed - I have had the opportunity to connect with many students the last 2 weeks that Cal Poly has been in session. Writing down their names and random little facts about them has helped me to remember them when I see them around campus. This morning I am off to meet with the leaders of Destino, I'll spend some time "coaching" them (the term coaching cracks me up coming from someone who is not sports oriented or competitive. . .who knew that I'd ever be a coach?! :)). I have a discipleship appointment with Kelly and Sarah, I'll be sharing with them the individual vision plans that I mapped out for each of them (this part is hard for me to do!) and we'll be discussing a chapter that I photocopied from "The Gospel for Real Life" by Jerry Bridges what addresses the question: why the cross? Good stuff! Then off to lunch with a wonderful freshman friend Molly, who is the sister of a very dear college friend. Molly has a bunch of "plus dollars" so she's treating me to Sandwich Factory. . . I worked there for several quarters my freshman and sophomore year. After lunch Hannah and I will be meeting up to plan Bible study for tomorrow. Pray for discernment as we discuss the best way to structure our hour and a half with the girls. I'm hoping to spend the rest of the afternoon with a swim, making a dessert for tomorrow's study, and working on Discipleship vision plans for the 4 other girls that I meet with this quarter. May the Lord increase OUR faith this week. What are you trusting Him for?
