AHHHHH

So the title of this blog is AHHH because that is how I feel - in a good way! Things are CRAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZYYYYYY here. But I am excited about all that is going on.

Brief recap, tonight we have our first Nav Night, Next Saturday we have the traditional Barn Dance! Here's a flier I made for it - don't worry we're not really having a kissing booth - although I think that'd be hilarious. Ha ha.



I had my first Bible study this last Tuesday night and I think 8 girls showed which was wonderful! Its the same girls I worked with last year - and they are very excited for this year. We're studying the book of Mark this semester and I think it's going to be a great study because they're all open to being more vulnerable now that they know each other better.

And the really cool thing is God has brought even more girls! Like there are a few new girls that are interested in coming. One who I don't think is a believer but is searching for "faith" and wants to hear more about Christ - she was a girl who filled out a survey at this year's tables, and I called her, and we've been in touch since! She's coming to Nav Night tonight and she asked me if I could give her a Bible (is there ever a better gift for her to ask me to give?! love it...) Another girl is a transfer student from another college and she wants to be in our study - and what is so exciting for me to see is that the girls in my study have a heart to include new girls. They have already facebooked these girls and are even offering to pick them up to bring them to study and Nav Night so they don't have to go alone. Another new girl is also from China! She is rooming wtih one of the girls in my study and so this girl invited her to come, and now she wants to be involved! It sounds like she accepted Christ last year but hasn't known what to do - her dad is an athiest and her mom is Buddhist so she has been at a loss for what it looks like to know God more. So hopefully she will be able to meet up and we can talk about that.

So there have been some very exciting things going on here! And a blessing for me personally is that I haven't felt as under stress as last year when I had to recruit all the girls from scratch - now I have relationships already, so it makes things so much more socially comfortable. = )

I need to go now...have to print the Barn Dance fliers to hand out tonight and need to go meet up with two girls. Thank you all for your prayers and encouragement. I can't wait to see what all God has in store this year.

Oh and on a personal note I am loving my house and my roommates, the weather has been awesome and sunny, and I am looking forward to a restful weekend.

And for those of you who aren't making much money, know that the YMCA offers financial help (basically hands it out! seriously take advantage of it)...like its ridiculous - I filled out some paperwork and now they pay 80% of my monthly membership...I pay $6/mo to attend the Y! How crazy. Perks of being poor. hahahaha
