It's antartica around here. Snow, ice, wind, the whole shabang. It's fun, for about 20 minutes. I am now convinced this sort of cold could only be a result of sin, and everyone should quickly repent, in hope that God will grant us mercy and it will be bearable soon. (I am kidding of course) But really, I am enjoying every second of it. :) Classes are going incredibly well and I really am pumped about what I am learning. Work is piling up, but I don't let that bother me, you see more importantly I am super busy with WestRidge and all that is going on there. The Launch of the Church in Westridge is Feburary 10th!! Be praying! Three weeks ago, we were around 50, two weeks ago the count was 74, and this last Sunday the count was 98, which rounds to 100, which is so RAD! WE HAVEN'T EVEN LAUNCHED YET AND WE ARE GROWING!! God is seriously present and people are being drawn to Him. The pieces for this summer are starting to come together, which gets me excited! I will be in Chicago, interning for Westridge (more on what that will look like soon, I'll keep you posted on what I will be up to :) I am working on lining up a job at the SBUX (that's Starbucks lingo) across from campus, which is also 2 blocks around the corner from the basement I will be renting. What?! A basement? Yes! An awesome, old, Greek, woman named Irene, who is a part of the community at Westridge, will be letting me rent out her basement which is across the street from the dorm I am living in now. (how awesome is God??) Still some details and things to be worked out, but it is definitely coming together. I am so, so grateful. Mom and Pops were here this weekend, what a ridiculous blessing they are. We had a sweet time together! And they got to meet Nick (the one in the picture up there)!! Yep, last semester, in the middle of all this craziness and awesomeness of opportunities God has been putting in front of me, a boy. And an amazing one at that! Can you believe it?!So there is life in a nutshell, well, the details at least. I am doing well, learning more about myself, God, and those around me everyday. It is such a beautiful process.
Remember to pray for Sunday, Feburary 10th, the launch of The Church in WestRidge!!! God is going to move!
Love you guys.
