My dad's surgery seems to have gone well. He is still in the hospital recovering, but will hopefully go home tomorrow. Pray for patience and perseverance as he begins the 2-3 month recovery process. God is good!
Today's weather was gorgeous - I was afraid that fall, if not winter, had decided to come early with the weekend rain. . .but no! Didn't make it to my painfully early class at the gym, but had a good workout on my own none the less. Then headed out to meet with a friend/student before she heads off to DC for an internship. We walked around Lake Merritt, surprisingly beautiful considering it's in the middle of a city. Beautiful scenery, beautiful conversation.
I met with 2 student leaders today, we talked about God's missionary call on our lives. . .and that if we opt out of this call (described in the Great Commission, Matthew 28:18-20) we are living in disobedience. It was sweet to sit on campus; dreaming, praying, and acting in faith together to see God's work be accomplished here and around the world.
When I remember the bigger picture I am so encouraged! Talked with a friend who recently got back from doing ministry in Ethiopia, she told me about Muslims who are coming to know the Lord and then preaching the Gospel in their mosques. Powerful! God really has not forgotten His people or His plan of redemption as we await His return!
And now I'm working on my talk (about the Holy Spirit) for the weekly meeting tomorrow - hum, you can be praying for it to come together. . .don't have much yet. But I know that God knows exactly what He wants to say! Hoping to also catch a bit of "So You Think You Can Dance" and do some cleaning - a friend is coming to stay for a few days tomorrow. Yay!
