No Time

It seems as if this passed week was just a whirlwind that I somehow got through by the grace of God.

This week was the first with all the staff gone and the students truly taking over. The atmosphere was a lot different but in a good way. For me, I understand my responsibility and it’s so cool to know that God will provide in all things.

The week was much more busier than usual because I came home on Friday for a wedding. Because of that, I worked on the days I usually had off and then I had to find time to fit all the discipleship times in and preparation for bible study. While it was pretty jammed pack, it was still fun.

I loved the times I spent which each guy this past week during discipleship. Each of them are so unique and bring such a different perspective. I am looking forward to the things we will learn from each other.

The week at work was great too. I work with two other guys who are in Ocean City for the same summer project. This week we had the opportunity to share with our boss. It was a moment inspired by God to be able to explain more of what true Christianity meant and to hear more about his faith.

Through that conversation and other things, I have realized that I need to really dig into the Bible more. We have been provided this “book” that is inspired by God for our benefit. It is so unbelievable the things that God can teach me if I just take time to let him.

Also, throughout the week God has provided incredible conversation with other students who are on the same project. It blows me away at how “real” and authentic people are. I almost feel like I am in this surreal environment. I am just so thankful that God provided a way so that I could fit into this community.

Throughout this summer, God has just been teaching me so much about my view of Him and how truly I think way to highly of myself. Some questions that I have considered is how small and little I am compared to the holiness and majesty of God. At the same time, how lucky I am that this huge and great God wants to know me in a personal way.

It was really nice to go home for the weekend. I left early Friday morning and I am now flying back to NJ. Seeing friends and family that I have not seen for a long time was incredible. Although it seemed as if every second was taken up with something to do, it was still nice just to be home.

As I head back to NJ, I understand that there is less than a month left for the project. I am so excited to see what God is going to do. I feel like it is the “end of the beginning” if that makes any sense. While this summer may be closing down, I am so excited to get back to School. I cannot wait to use the skills that have been taught from this summer and apply it at the U.

May all the Glory go to God!
