Soooo I am sorry. I think about blogging everyday! I am just lame and don't make time to do it, but here I am! With lots of exciting things to say because they have been storing up in my head since Sept. 25th :)
Here are a few key points about life as a staff person with Campus Outreach...
*It never ends! I dream about the dorms
*I love it! I love meeting students and going to events and figuring out how much Carolina blue I can cover myself in at one time. I love figuring out how to reach this campus and what the world-view of these students is and how they spend their days. I love learning about them, what their insecurities are but also the magnitude of their dreams. I love seeing the way that God has His guiding hand on their lives and the way each of these students reflect Him in some way... whether it be through their love for one another, their humor, their excellence, their intelligence, their skills, or their experiences
*You eat a lot... we cook hot dogs on the big grill to tailgate for football, we bake lasagna and garlic bread for girls from the dorm, we scarf down international food in the cafeteria on cultural awareness night, cheese fries at the soccer games, and chex mix with M & M's when we watch The Office! At least I have a new area to relate to the freshmen- gaining those infamous, extra 15 lbs :)
*I am learning, learning, learning. A couple weeks ago I went to a forum on abortion and never knew so much about student's passion and knowledge over this issue. I am learning about politics and who students think I should vote for in the 2008 election. I am learning how to live with my roommates and not be so messy! I am learning how to budget my money to glorify God with my finances. But most wonderfully, I am learning about God and for the first time in my life realizing how real and purposeful He is! I just didn't see it all before.
