Hey Friends!
I apologize, it has been far too long since I have written anything on here. Maybe this blogging habit isn't coming as naturally to me as I would have hoped.
Freshley Retreat was last weekend. With over 200 people (Freshmen, student leaders, and staff), we headed up to Dahlonega for the weekend. We prayed and prepared a lot in the weeks before, and God was so faithful. The weather was perfect. People connected and built friendships. Saturday night we had our meeting end with a 5 hour worship session as people just lost track of time. Some time after 2 AM Sunday morning as I reflected on the weekend to that point, I realized the Lord had changed dozens if not hundreds of lives forever in just a short weekend. I love the blessing and fun that is my job. The best part is really that I see people transformed more and more to His likeness on a daily basis.
I had been sick most of the week leading into the retreat, and just as I was getting better, I got my prescribed 3-4 hrs of sleep per night that comes with retreats (Love it!). So with no rest over the weekend and heading right into Monday, my busiest day of the week with Freshley, I got sick enough that I had to take Tuesday off. I think I'm just now shaking it off in time for another amazing week.
So recently I have actually become pretty discouraged with keeping this blog. I just felt like no one was reading it; then I realized this is not about how many people actually read it or how many it blesses, but faithfulness to what God is calling me to do. I'm humbled by my inability to regularly chronicle another year in ministry at Wesley, if only for my own use. Though I cannot see the purpose, love is about commitment, so in that sense at least I am aiming to love, even in this blog.
