Post-Spring Break

So I know it is long overdue, but here is my Post-Spring Break Blog.

Spring Break finished and it was awesome. Though I spent waaaay more money than I would have liked, it was great to hang out with some people from home that I had not hung out with in a while, and it would not have been the same had I not gone out to eat, gone to the beach, and gone out to eat again. It was soo great to experience friendships outside of Simpson and at Church. It was encouraging. The last night of Spring Break everybody came over to my house. The plan was to eat tacos and then watch Jurassic Park. Only a few people came over to eat tacos... and we never really watched Jurassic Park. Instead, we ended up going out to the pier out behind my house really late at night and hanging out there. There were soo many people too, and it was amazing.

Then Sunday came and it was time to go back to school. Matt and I weren't supposed to leave until late because we were picking up Sarah at the Sac Airport at like 11. Her flight from Pennsylvania ended up getting pushed later and later, and she ended up missing classes monday. So matt and I left around 8 or 9 I think.

We then had a week of school. That week of school was not hard. We had our Spring Formal. It was soo much fun. I attended with a large group of friends. Me, Jeff, Eric, Hannah, Aubrey, Danae, Eleanor, Stephanie, Natalie, Hillary, and Caleb. We all had soo much fun. I'm so glad I went. There was a part where they taught us how to swing dance, and that was pretty cool and not too hard. I ended up dancing a lot with Aubrey during the swing dancing thing, and she did well. I also must express that all of the girls looked very beatiful! Honestly. They were amazing! AAAND... It's soo fun to get dressed up.

Then came this past week. All day Sunday I was in the library writing a 7 page, 7500 word paper on the conflicts in cross-cultural terms in the movie Fools Rush In. The rest of the week was a sinch, and now I'm at home for Easter weekend. It's kinda nice because we have four days (FRI-MON).

In other news, I'm really excited about this summer and next school year. This summer I am set to do an internship with my Youth Pastor, Dewbe Wright. He's really awesome and I have been getting this feeling, from God presumably, that He is going to be doing some great things this summer in the East Bay, which is probably why I am soo excited. I'm not the only who has been getting this feeling. I am also stoked about next year as an RA, and it being my senior year and all, but I am soo pleased at most, if not all, of the people that Residence Life has hired as leaders for next year. I really wish my friend Jeff had been chosen because he is really great; I hope he applies again next year.

Lord,
I thank You for who You are. I am soo excited about this upcoming summer and next year. As I serve You, I pray that You would teach me what it means to serve You, as well as continue to develop me and my character into the man, and future youth pastor, that You want me to be. Lord I pray that You would bless us all with Your love this summer and that You would continue to be magnificent in our lives. I ask that You would continue to reveal Yourself to us.
Amen.
