so it's WAY past my bedtime. and i only have a few minutes to write. but i just need to say that.. GOD IS SO GOOD!!!
i had quite possibly one of the best nights tonight. and it's funny, because it was so unexpected. but i guess that's just how god rolls. haha. he makes those divine appointments, that we don't even realize are happening until after they've already happened!
but we had our first epic meeting tonight. now that was AWESOME. so many people. so many new faces. SO MUCH LOVE! i am stoked for this year. God has just been working fervently with and through us. i am just thrilled that he has chosen to use me to help expand his kingdom.
on the whole, i'd say it went REALLY well. even got to chill a bit afterwards with some of the people. :) always a good time! going through ephesians was really refreshing too. russell's part about us being comfortable, and falling into the pattern of thinking that we don't "need" a savior hit me hard. also the part about us being so caught up in the current that we often forget to keep an eternal perspective. it just made me realize that my fast pace life is not a bad thing, but i do need to remember that this is just a short term thing. i am not home yet. and that i do in fact need a savior. i can't do this alone. and i certainly don't want to. i need him...in all aspects of my life.
and THEN. we went to the zeta sis potluck. really late. but then again, it's never too late. (; haha. brought nina with me, which was so great! i love that girl. haha i know i keep saying that, but i honestly can't say it enough (: had the most unexpected yet AMAZING conversation with chris, and man. god was just moving tonight. we didn't just get to talk with chris, but sal as well, and even met another girl named grace who will be coming out to epic too! oh man. sorrry. i still am processing what happened tonight. so i might need to continue this more later. all i know is that God was there. i could feel his presence. and it just felt...so right. it just reaffirmed every reason i ever had for sharing the gospel, for reaching out to people, for loving God. these are the times when it becomes a true reality. the love that God has for each one of us, and his divine and interconnected plans he has prepared for us! i just feel so blessed, so excited that he used me.
im still trippin out. but i need to go to bed. eee! i don't even know if i'll be able to sleep. haha. but anyway. lots of prayer please. i have a crazy long list of people i want to pray for, but please pray for these people. pray for more divine appointments, rekindled passion for god, those who still don't know, epic, and yeah. haha i could pray for hours with all that i have to give up to god!
i'm just stoked. and so in love. i find myself just thinking about it all the time now... how much i truly am falling in love with God. more and more everyday. and i really do hope that i can one day share that with each and every one of you ♥ ♥ ♥
GNIGHT! (:
