God works through those who work for him

so tonight was like every other night we go to the beach to feed the homeless. we left school made our pit stop at country club lakes to pick up the others and headed to the beach. its been a whole summer since I've done this so I wanted to get back to it. my heart really wasnt in it. I was tired, hungry, and i just wanted to lay somewhere but I went anyway. and i'm glad i did.

we met this man Jose who when he sat down didnt look to good. he was very hungry come to find out he had diabetes and was an alcholic. So john was talking to him and Jose only knew little english and none of us speak spanish. Jose told JOhn that he needed healing and Jesus. it was awesome to see John break down the language barrier and tell this man about Jesus and how Jesus can help him with not only his diabetes but with his alcholoism . John prayed with him and after the guy made a complete 180 with his emotions. he was happy and joyful and was excited about knowing that Jesus can heal him. Not only did it affect Jose but it affected the other people around him. they're whole deminar changed also.

i dont have class tomorrow- hahaha

so i found out today that we're doing nooma videos for the freshmen bible study this year.
doing the video gives us more time to be social and build relationships
I really loved my freshmen group last year. as a group we're close not only just the freshmen but with the leaders too and that group had some of my closet friends in it.
i look forward to being a leader this year. we have some really cool things that we are planning on doing. i hope to build some strong relationships and not only have the freshmen benefit from this bible study but for us as leaders to get something out of it.


the rooms starting to look better. well my roommates half is at least. i have to put up some pictures tomorrow so it looks more lively.

saw some more of my friends today and its just really good to back. and we've already had our first dinner/party of the year today. its the first of many and if its any sign of whats to come then its a good sign.

Jacksonville- what adventures do you hold for me this year.

I'm BACK............

not only to bloggin but to college life. I've made it back to good ol' UNF and i'm very excited not only to be living in the apartment, to back with my friends, but to see what God is going to do this year.

Since tropical Fay has been making its rounds all over Florida move in day here at UNF has been pushed back one. well i wasnt gonna stay home and more. so i packed up everything and left this morning. It may have rain for a total of 5 mins the whole ride. I get a phone call from my roommate saying they're letting us move in today. so thankfully me, my primary roommate, her boyfriend, and her parents got both of us moved in and what for now is settled. so when everyone else is moving in tommorow i can help or just sit back and relax.

but im glad to be back. Jacksonville is a place i feel i belong. and if this summer has taught me one thing its that my life is here in Jax. Besides some friends and my family my life is pretty much here.

i am excited to be back. i cant believe im sitting here in a dorm room again. it doesnt seem like that long ago i was sitting in the same dorm room putting of packing. now here i am 4 months later putting of unpacking.

i have a lot to do and no motivation to do it. but couldn't be any more excited to back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
