Its been maybe the craziest week I've ever had. Between midterms, new ministry, and Genesis Weekend here at Simpson, there hasn't been much time to do anything.. include sleep. However, this is the kind of thing I live for... I'm just a happier person when I have a lot to do!
Let me give you an update -- starting Wednesday:
Wednesday was the biggest day of my week last week. I had 2 midterms, a paper due, and it was my first day helping out with the Risen King middle schoolers. I managed to get through both midterms, not feeling too confident about World Civ, and whizzed through the rest of my classes. Then I ate a quick and early dinner, ran to my dorm, changed (i dont know why-- its an impulse...) and ran to meet Arwyn... who then told me I'm not riding with her, but someone else. So, I go find him, we jet, and I go to Risen King.
I tried not to anticipate what it would be like too much, just to keep my mind open... but when I got there, it was so much more than I could have imagined. The kids were incredible, the staff really love the kids, and I had the best time.. and the longest and most brutal pillow fight of my life. We drove home late, talking to one of the kids about life, and I got home with the feeling like I finally found my church... finally.
I won't go into the rest of my week, because I dont want this blog to go forever... but I will say that I sang at the karaoke night, and it is confirmed... I still have the worst stage fright. You think with enough performing that goes away, but it doesnt... I was shaking afterwards. Oh well... its over now. :)
Next week will go nicely... school only 4 days, then a retreat over the weekend... should be good!!
Till next time...
