Life in the OC…
Ok, soooo… it’s been awhile since i’ve posted, and a lot’s been going on… but here we go anway…
last week was world vision week. it was amazing… we did different things to learn about God’s heart for the nations… it was awesome…
what else… oh, we surprised out impact group guys with a date last week…we made tons of desserts and had sparkling cider on the beach at night… it was really fun. they’re cool guys, and it was fun to just chill… we actually started talking about our hearts for different countries…and i discovered that both grant and i have a weird thing for india… and kind of want to spend the rest of our lives there… so that was informative…
so staff leaves on friday… we all found out our roles this weekend… i’m the directer of the pr and employment team…. and my impact group leader…and today kim asked me to lead campus time with minjae… so i’ll be busy… but i’m excited!
oh, i started work last week…. it’s a little boring…but not too bad… it’s not difficult or anything… it’s just an exercise in keeping myself busy… but hey, i’m getting paid… and i’m super-pumped to not still be looking for a job… that sucked…
what else, what else… oh, i had a realization…so in high school i used to pray this prayer that was something like, “Lord, stir up in me a dissatisfaction with the things of this world…” i just realized that God totally answered that peayer… and that has a lot to do with who i am today… basically, when i prayed that before, i just kind of meant, “God, don’t let me pretend to be happy with drinking, smoking, partying and empty relationships…” i was kind of focused on the really obvious “things of this world” that were never even that much of a problem for me in the first place… what God actually did was to make me dissatisfied with the whole world system…with the things people pursue…with the ways they pursue them…with the empty cyclical nature of life…with the american dream…so, yeah… it’s probably because of this prayer…a prayer i didn’t even understand when i started praying it…that i feel like God is preparing me for a different kind of life…i know that i will never be satisfied with 9-5, suburbia, and that whole deal…but i also know that God isn’t just going to leave me dissatisfied, but he’s going to offer me a way to be completely content serving him in a unique way…it’s just awesome to see God answer prayer…
that’s another thing i’m seeing a lot here…answered prayer… i got a job….i’m enjoying community…other things are happening…it’s soooooo cool to see…things i’ve prayed for for yearrrrrssssss…they’ve just been kind of happening…it’s weird… i love it…things that were really getting between me and God are just kind of gone…not to say that life’s perfect or anything…it’s just been amazing to see his faithfulness in answering prayer…his teaching me patience, but also answering me and giving me the desires of my heart… ugh, i just love God….
so, yeah…oc is pretty legit…
