Brain fart

Yesterday in the taxi, I turned to Darren and said, "Am I 25 yrs old?"

I was serious, I couldn't remember, but my thought was that if I was 25, that I needed to freak out.

Then Darren told me I'm not. Safe for another 8 months!

Note to self: Remember own age.

Celebrate hope

Sing a song of celebration
Lift up a shout of praise
For the Bridegroom will come
The glorious One

And oh, we will look on His face
We’ll go to a much better place
Dance with all your might
Lift up your hands and clap for joy
The time’s drawing near
When He will appear

And oh, we will stand by His side
A strong, pure, spotless bride
We will dance on the streets that are golden
The glorious bride and the great Son of man
From every tongue and tribe and nation
Will join in the song of the Lamb

Sing aloud for the time of rejoicing is near
The risen King, our groom, is soon to appear
The wedding feast to come is now near at hand
Lift up your voice, proclaim the coming Lamb

- David Ruis

I'm only slightly nerdy!

That's right. Only "lightly nerdy".

Apparently, I'm "Somewhat nerdy. I mean face it, you are nerdier than about half the test takers."

But nerdiness does not necessarily mean smart. Sigh.

TWO MONTHS?!?!?

A shocker...there are 9 weeks before I come back! NINE WEEKS!!! That's only a little over TWO MONTHS! WHERE did all this time go?!

In some ways, it'll be nice to get back to fresh air and clean laundry, but it will be so sad to leave my friends here. These past few weeks, I've had so many conversations with students about spiritual things, shared the gospel with many of them, heard stories of God completely changing people's lives, and seen God's Spirit really working in the hearts and minds of these students. It has been amazing to witness firsthand what He is doing in the world!

These next 2 months will be a challenge in really living in the present, but preparing to go back.

Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that." - James 4:13-15

As a sidenote, I've realized that I've started a lot of posts and never finished them. In my stockpile? The lastest one was about the resurrection of Jesus Christ and why the resurrection is the most logical explanation. It's so fun to talk about, but too long to type, so alac and alas, maybe next Easter.

As another sidenote, I love talking with all you ppl on your Sunday nights, my Monday mornings! :) Go hard with the QTs, Rach and Amanda!
