awe!

the past weekend was amazing. i dont even have the words to describe it, but i was in awe of everything, the way God works in people, and they He uses them to affect others, and they way He brought people together. it's so cool to see so many new friendships formed, and so many old friendships renewed. i'm thankful for so many things: opportunities to serve, being able to participate, sharing night, new friends, and there's so much more that it would take up the whole page to fill. i think that i have a different perspective as to why i am here. there's so much more to life than school. we are here on this campus for a reason, and to study 24/7 is not one of them...at least i dont think that's the case anymore. i used to feel guilty if i wasnt constantly studying. thinking about how my parents lived 20 some years ago, where it was work, school, and work. there was nothing else they did because they needed to do that to survive, to suport themselves. and today, i have everything that i need and that i want, so if i didnt study my hardest, then i'd feel guilty, like i was wasting all of their efforts. but after talking with some wiser than me people, i think that i can say there's more to life. i'm still seeking God's will for my life, but in the meantime, i can work on things that every Christian is called to do; the great commission, attributes we are to strive for, live a life that's pleasing to Him.
