what a stellar week!
Laura's in town for a few days so we're catching up. we've been seeing each other every other week when she comes to take an exam for her correspondence class. we took the Reynolds' girls to Surf's Up last night, played Clue at Sweet Eugene's, and attacked their parents with silly string. a perfect evening!
I'm enjoying my job and God answered my prayers for more hours. I often work the middle of the day and get evenings off, which is great. my apartment is a work in progress...we just got ice trays this week so now we have cold drinks. it's fun putting the place together piece by piece. we should be ready to have people over when fall semester starts.
after enjoying the Pineapple Series, listening to my car radio was just boring. so I downloaded the 2007 Canadian Calvary Chapel Pastor's Conference and I've been soaking that up for over a week. this is getting to be a habit. I already have a European CC Conference ready to listen to next! I never realized how much time I spend in my car and how much I can be learning while I drive.
prayer requests are for more heart, and Spirit directed ministry...as well as good help.

Times Are Changing
katie graduated!
we went to her ceremony last night at Tivy Stadium. now she's looking forward to A&M in the fall. I'm so glad I'll be there for her college years. she's a beautiful girl and I know she'll blossom into a strong spiritual woman. I can't wait to see the Lord use her life!
the Lord lit a fire under me this week. I was driving thru campus on monday and the Spirit said "why aren't you out there?" I knew what He meant, so on tuesday I hit campus with my pocket gospels and started sharing with people. I've learned to go from bus stop to bus stop and talk with the people waiting around, and by the time I get back to the first stop there's a new group of people. I've also learned that I have to share the whole gospel with each person or I'm not giving them a real opportunity to repent. I can't gloss over it and just hand them a gospel. I have to fully explain it to each one so the Spirit can convict their hearts.
I also listened to the Pineapple Story Series this week. Otto Koning is a missionary to New Guinea and these are some of his testimonies of God's work there. the lessons God taught him in the jungle have changed my heart. my favorite quote is "don't waste good problems". problems give God a chance to do impossible things, and if you don't give your problems to God you miss out on the miracles. such good lessons. I can see a big change in my prayer life...from praying a lot about myself, to asking for missionaries to be sent and churches built.
my prayer request is for more ability to support missionary families, and more of a heart for them.
