the start of a new week

A month later, here I go again.

I wanted to say that today our whole team was on campus with a few of the Newcastle Agape Staff members who came down by train just for the day. They met with us for about the same reason we went to visit the London teams in the last week of October - to see how it's done when you're in later phases of movement building.

It was cool to have all seven of us on campus at the same time. I feel more effective when it's all of us at once (instead of just me or me and a partner). But, I wasn't excpecting for today to be so fruitful. It was fruitful for how we were able to talk with students, it was fruitful for the conversations and devotionals we had after sharing and it was fruitful for all of what God did in me, in my heart and my head throughout the whole day.

I have been half-heartedly asking for help with evangelism and with prayer.
I have wanted vision, wanted to connect with student and to connect properly with students. I want to REALLY get in there and to feel what it was that properly called me to student ministry. And today was good. I'm very happy with today. I have much to process.

My notebook was on fire today...Listening to Chip and Matt talk I was thinking constantly, "Wow, wow, wow," at the things that were being shared with me and impressed upon me by the H Spizzo.

This is good because I have been praying that I would feel effective. I have wanted to know that our labour is not in vain. Today I understand what's going on (at least for today).
Today I understood that it is better to give God your all in EACH situation rather than to be a clock narc. Yes, I become obsessed with using EVERY minute designated to a single task - like on-campus evangelism.

Today was a different day. I feel like I took a vacation or something. I felt really happy to be home at the end of th day. We left the house at about twenty minutes after 12 and returned around 7.30. That's not an extremely long day but it felt good to spend so many hours on campus, even though more hours were spent in meeting and praying than were in talking with students.

I wonder what tomorrow will be like.
