Hello!

 

Wow, it's been a long time. I've had a very interesting (in a good way) last couple of months. College is going great; I especially love my New Testament class. Right now I'm double majoring in Political Science and Speech Communications, but I'm thinking of changing my second major to Christianity. Or perhaps I'll do all three.

My Christmas break was amazingly good. I was supposed to get off on Friday the 15th, but I was pull a few strings, and get assignments and tests done early, so I was able to come home that Tuesday, so I could attend Mr. Umstattd's 50th birthday party. That was a blast. I am so glad I got to go. I was able to see many awesome people, and we had a great time. Then, for the next week, the first CEBC (Christmas Evangelism Boot Camp) took over my life. It started on Saturday, but on Wed-Fri, I was able to help out with the preparation. When it actually started it was amazing. God did a ton of awesome things that weekend. For instance, on Saturday, As my group began to go out, God took away the spirit of fear from us. God gave me and many other the words to say and the courage to say them, and four of us open air preached for the first time. During the course of those three days I saw God work in so many ways, it was truly awesome. God gave me the opportunity to have around a dozen and a half conversations, and I was privileged to see His work in the large majority of the people I was able to talk to.

One of the things that I have been thinking ever since that weekend is that it is amazing that God would use people like me to do His work. It says in Hebrews that every time we sin knowingly and willfully, that we profane the blood of our Lord. I do this so often, and it is truly amazing to me that the Lord will still continue to use me. We serve an Awesome God.

Long, long. But fun to read through.

You've never had stitches? For some reason I thought all American boys were required to get them at some point in their lives. *grin*

How is college going?
