I read about 300 pages this past week. That is crazy. 100 of those were voluntary because I got new books this weekend that are really really good and I just couldn't stop. I love learning from people who are passionate about this same things I am!
As I was leaving Springfield this weekend I started pondering the question of why God would have called me out of MSU. When I was there I was part of a strong Christian community, I had younger girls to meet with, a small group, and service opportunities to be involved in every week. I was busy livin' like a "good Christian chick" should. And in Bolivar, I have nothing. As I was thinking through these ideas a few things came to mind... First of all, obviously the classes here are going to make me better prepared for ministry. And being here where there are not a ton of activities going on all the time is giving me a chance to work on the little details in life, like building up my character. In these next couple of semesters I have a lot of growing to do that is going to take a lot of attention. If I want to become a member of a strong leadership team at a church then I've got to be training now so I don't end up being the "weak link." I needed to be reminded that God doesn't really care about all the big things I was doing for him, he just wants me to follow him and be obedient to the little everyday things he shows me along the way.
