Ahhhh, God is so good!!!
This week has been so good! Even though I have not had the time or the heart the seek God more in my quiet time this week, he has blessed me abundantly!!
- Sunday, September 9th — Had a meeting with people in explicit roles of leadership for Crossroads and we hashed out details, and talked about being of one vision. It was slightly stressful, but so necessary and really good for us to seek unity!!
— Met the newcomers in FCS and it was amazing - I'm so fond of them!! I'm excited to work for the kingdom with them and help them to seek Him more! :)
— Died because the freshmen that have been checking out CFCC are SO. FREAKING. CUTE. They like reach out and are intentional and are like friends with each other, and just everything that's super encouraging to me, asking to join our fb group and posting cute selfies of themselves eating dinner. I literally died for like 30 min seeing all the cute stuff they posted on social media. Like literally couldn't do anything else for 30 min... I am not kidding. I'm so excited to love them and walk with them towards Christ!
- Monday, September 10th —Had a meeting with small group leaders for this semester, and it was so good! Really got to see that we were all seeking to see people live out their faith this semester, and God has been giving me a lot of inspiration for things to do with our small group this semester; giving me vision and giving me conviction!! :)
- Tuesday, September 11th — Met up with a freshman who came out to our Welcome Event last Friday, and he "screwed" up telling his life story to me, which really just meant he ended up sharing a lot of personal things to help explain where he is, and it ended up hitting really close to home. God has really placed a huge care for this kid in my heart, and I'm really hoping to be able to meet him where he is and really be able to show him a glimpse of God's love in the hopes that he'll be able to let God in and heal him in the ways the church has hurt him.
- Wednesday, September 12th — Survived another 7 am - 3 pm day... That enough is a PTL moment haha. !!
— Sang on Sproul to let the FCS newcomers experience what singing outside would be like for our first Sproul tomorrow! We got to actually talk to people that stopped by, who will hopefully come and support us through the semester/that might be interested in auditioning next semester! Praise God!
— Met up and caught up with a friend I met from CalSO. We talked about her continued struggle to see God with the right mindset. Even though she wanted me to share about my experience in China this summer, she ended up sharing about her experience finding a job/internship she wanted this past summer, and her struggle to not approach God selfishly and then with a hoard of guilt. I got to share my own experience in looking for a job — the humility and focus on Him God gave me through the process, and how I came out on the other side still seeking Him. Through a series of exchanges afterward, she came to decide that she wanted to explicitly and intentionally recommit her life to Christ! She's talking to someone else from my fellowship to hopefully set up some sort of accountability so that she doesn't just stray away from this conviction again. !!!1 Ahhhh1!!!!!131!!
God has been SO good. Even though sometimes I now feel restless — especially with Welcome Week dying down, God has still been blessing me so abundantly!! And really showing me how only through seeking Him will I be able to choose and find joy in this broken and sinful world.
