Last Day of Summer That Was

So the summer of 2009 is unofficially over. And what a summer it was!

I'm starting to wind down as the reality has finally struck me. I was biking around last night and completely forgot that I even had school tomorrow. Crazy how much a little busyness will disrupt one's day!

Today was another day that kept me on my toes. Eric and I hit the dorms again, only talked to a couple guys that were both not really on board with joining a study. Those conversations have been few and far in between thankfully. Eric and I make such a great team. I'm blessed to have an awesome co-leader such as him. We balance each other quite well... as God intended it when we were made coleaders I think :) We both are really easy going and down to earth, which is something of an attractive quality-- especially for freshmen that are looking for a place to belong. The picture to the right is a pic of him and I. He's the other good lookin dude with the glasses.

All these kids are wanting is acceptance for who they are. With a mutual love of Christ, they have that. We love them and accept them for who they are just as Christ does/did. Unfortunately, there's been a sad theme amongst many at UCSB that have gone for acceptance in the partying crowd. Hopefully God will rise up more people that could lead others in a false reality to a life of purpose in Christ.

With that said, we had a bbq tonight, and it was freaking amazing. We had over 15 guys show up!! This is absolutely unbelievable and such a blessing from the Lord. I've been filled with joy these past few days and tonight was just amazing. My roommate Clay helped me clean up the house and manned the grill while I was able to acquaint myself with my study. I was just so thankful that everything is panning out more than I could have ever expected or hoped for. He is greater than I, and has provided for us big time!!

Well this has been a satisfying end to summer, we'll see how Fall Quarter shapes up. I have an inkling that its going to be nothing short of excitement :)

I'm gonna go get ready for bed, I've got class at 8:00 in the morning tomorrow! If you know me at all, you probably just laughed out loud because I cannot wake up for the life of me in the morning. However, I have made it a priority to make it to each class this quarter, gotta start off right!

Cheers!
