Wow! Today was a FULL day! We had team breakfast this morning in our apartment where we fit 12 people in our little kitchen to feast on Mister Donut, which by the way, are amazing but SO expensive! We also bought apples, bananas, and OJ. Talk about a complete, well-rounded breakfast!
After that, we had our normal quiet times and as I continued in Exodus chapter 24 today, I stopped and reflected on the people's response of being obedient to what the Lord has spoken and how I pray that that is the prayer of my heart as I stop and listen to what He has to say. Sadly, it's really what I desire but how often do I really think and do otherwise thinking that my ways or thoughts are better... lovin' my devo times and much needed at that!
Wednesdays are generally the days that Gen and I take off and don't go to campus in order to take some personal care time as well time for planning and admin stuff. We legitimately worked the entire afternoon and it was productive in terms of just planning and working out some logistics. Needless to say, our first week here, we were adjusting A LOT not just to being here, but also to working with the JCCC staff and what our time here was going to look like in order to best help them. So it was nice to plan and get things planned out. It's the Myers Briggs J in me.... ;)
Afterward, we had dinner and then met back up with the students and found out that today, Steven Arita and Bethany LED SOMEONE TO CHRIST!!!! What!!!!!! :) God is sooooooo good and I get to meet with them tomorrow to start taking her through follow-up (thank you Vivian Mabuni for all those lessons) if things work out and then can schedule another time. So please, please, please continue to pray for Lillian and her new found relationship with Jesus!!!
Ended tonight with some family night where our community team planned for us to go karaoke! It was a blast and Ryan Ito's rendition of Justin Bieber's Baby I think was my favorite.... =P
What can I say, another amazing day of walking and experiencing just God's LOVE and remembering that we are ambassadors and want to do nothing more than to be compelled by His love! Amen!
