yeah I haven't been on xanga in quite some time. I've been a little busy lately. It hasn't been a priority really. I've been doing my teaching thing and my classes thing and so many other things! Friday was girl's night!! wow! what can I say? it was amazing. We had about 30 girls show up (i had no idea how much to expect) and many were new to the BSM or I just didn't know really so that was awsome. It was so good to get to spend time with some amazing ladies doing everything from mattress surfing (its probably not what you think but man is it fun!) to having really great discussion about the Lord and what He has done in our lives. There was even a witnessing opportunity that presented itself and through that I got to meet a freshman who is crazy on fire for God. She got to share Christ with her suitemate and it was rockin. There was also discussion between between older members of the BSM and new freshman. This is so great. Through one of these girls I could really see myself when I was a freshman. I didn't know anything about doctrine or theology or anything like that. I didn't really read the Bible a whole lot or even really know how or where to start BUT I was excited. I was passionate and on fire for God in a way that I haven't really been since. Proverbs 19:2 says, " It is not good to have zeal without knowledge,
nor to be hasty and miss the way. " but it also says in Romans 12:11, "Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord." So yeah the knowledge that I've gained in the Lord the last couple of years is really awsome and I praise Him for that but its also good to just be excited about Jesus. It was so cool to see this girl who was kinda like "hey i don't know much about doctrine or theology or these kinds of things but I know that God is awsome and I've seen Him do great things" and who was just so passionate about Him and sharing His Gospel with others! Praise the Lord! It reminds me too of a girl I met in Bulgaria who like didn't know anything about church strategies and "the way" that you do ministry neccasarily like we do in the states but she said, "we just love Jesus and read His word together and worship Him together." Its really that simple. Just something interesting to me... and who could talk about Girl's Night w/o mentioning our Nikki. She's wonderful. I love how she calls us all little sisters. :) She talked about being driven by feelings or faith. wow. just awsome. we may have to have another one of these girl's things... |
