Hey everybody so sorry for the delay. I was in a place with no internet and I also had food poisoning or the flu the last 3 days which has made it difficult to do much.
Otherwise this week has been kind of jumbled together since being sick, so this one might be a little shorter than usual. The beginning of the week was the same old stuff with getting up and chillin at a coffee place of some sort and reading and doing studying for my Pastor. Finance related stuff in the beginning of the week was great and I was able to continue to look further into the monthly processes that Charis has. Through this I will be able to update the last 2 months of there financial statements, etc. Might sound boring but I am looking forward to it!
This week I was able to get up in the morning and do something physical, which is something I am trying to get in the habit of being that I am not doing any sports right now. I have been getting up with the mornings and meeting up with a kid I know pretty well now, which has been great to try and get to know him better on a personal level. Trying to gain this friendship to further dig into his life and relationship with Christ and be as much of a mentor that I can be for this guy and also learn from him.
I met up with another elder/pastors from my church this week, Craig Stimpert. I joined him for lunch at Potbelly and was able to talk with him about things going on in his life and mine. He was able to pour into me through the conversation, but also I was able to give him insight on certain questions just from talking to him about my upbringing and such. It was a great time of fellowship and great time of personal talk to be able to know Craig on a different level while also being able to show him my life story. Two days after this I met up at the same place with my lead teaching pastor Jon Bricker again and we were able have a long talk about his chance to share the gospel this last week at a wedding he was doing. We were also able to talk more in depth about the book we are going through, and with that it led to some really great, edifying theological talks that had me challenged and thinking through.
This past weekend was a fun weekend for me, in that my best friend from back home came down and we went camping. It was such a blessing to have him come down and hang out with. We had so much great conversation involving the Gospel and how it looks in our lives right now and really just tried to challenge each other in leadership and understanding where we are in life. We cooked some awesome food and had some great God time while being out in nature. One of my times of reading we set up my friends hammock over the water and I was able to sit and look out on the lake and forest while reading God's word. Such a great experience and such a humbling experience too.
Sunday my mom was down here and joined me for church and was able to meet the people that God has placed in my life down here this summer. She then stayed till this morning and it could not have been at a more opportune time. We had plans to go places and do stuff, but unfortunately I got sick like I said in the beginning for the whole time she was here. But what better time for my mom to be down here to hang around and watch movies and baby me while being sick down here! haha I was really happy she was able to come down and see how my life is going down here.
Monday night there was a bunch of friends from my floor last year that came down here to move into their apartments, and they ended up having a party thing there. I was able to go over and hang out there for a while and talk to all the guys about what I am doing down here this summer and how gracious God has been towards me in giving me this opportunity.
So this post was delayed as I said and the next post will not be until July 9th! I will be gone for a while on a family trip, that I am looking forward to so much!
Thanks all who are following along with this and I hope everything is going splendid on your side of life!
See ya in a couple weeks!
