Finally Friday

So it is a wonderful Friday. I am so glad to be home. This week has been pretty stressful. I took my first test in most of my classes this week. I did rather well. Actually, I was pretty surprised at how well I did. I think this semester is off to a good start, brightens my day! This week was really good though. Band practice was intense- as always. The Northeast game is coming up soon, and we have to be looking good! I will be glad to get that one behind us. I was on duty last night, and I find the conversations over the radio at 3 am very interesting. It always amazing me--the things that go on at a Community College in the middle of the night. I love ICC. I am going to be sad when it is my time to depart--I don't think that will be anytime soon though. ha ha.

I catch myself being lost in thought a lot lately. Most of the time not about tangible things..just ideas and images of what I want to come in the future. I find it strangely comforting to just sit and let my mind wonder. Never would I have done that before this summer. I guess being away from all technology for so long has taught me to chill out a bit. Why is there so much stress during college? I feel like I'm faced with life changing choices on a daily basis. I think the older I get the more I realize how important my actions are and how my actions effect those around me. Bro Troy spoke about wearing masks at 707 on Wednesday. It made me stop and thing about the things that I do and say on a daily basis. Do my actions reflect the World or do my actions reflect Christ? It is a real struggle to live for Christ day in and day out. This world is full of temptations. Anna and I are going to be teaching a bible study this semester about the temptations a Freshman in college faces. It is my prayer that we can influence this group of Freshman to live for Christ- even when it's tough. That is so hard to do, but I think if we can reach out and support them along with God then they can do it. Please pray that this bible study will work in the lives of the Freshman on the campus of ICC. I want God work through Anna and myself.

I hope that you all have a wonderful Labor Day weekend. Take Care! God Bless.
