Fellowship at Choo Choo

Earlier tonight our freshmen small group met up for dinner at Choo Choo's, a Japanese-Korean restaurant to eat together for the only meal of the week not covered by the UGA meal plan - not that I'm on it any more, but for them, it's the one night of the week where they have leave campus and forage for food. It was such a good gathering: several of the guys went to Passion Conference, and their excitement to walk in their newfound spiritual growth was contagious. The group has really come a long way, and I am so thankful for God's faithfulness to work in their hearts.

Tonight we're supposed to get 4-5 inches of snow, and the university has already called for no classes tomorrow. Since Wesley Foundation follows the university schedule, we won't be going in to work at all tomorrow. Freshley happens on Monday nights, so now with MLK we won't be having Freshley for two weeks. As sad as that is for me, and so many of our freshmen and leaders, I think something even better is going to happen. My hope is that the hunger for fellowship in our group tonight is characteristic of what God is doing in the rest of the body, and that they'll meet on their own. I think pockets of students, leaders and freshmen, will have their own Freshley these next two weeks... and it will be even better than if we were running it for them. Because true moves of God aren't dependent on a system or a time slot, but often rather when people want something more and come together to seek it.
