Reboot

I apologize; it's been a little longer between posts than I would have liked.

I'm not quite in the same confused state as in my last update. Life is back to a little more normal pace, and I feel much less overwhelmed than last week. Not that I exactly have less on my plate than I did before, but a little sleep and a lot of prayer can go a long way. God has definitely met me where I am, and that makes a world of difference.

I finally got a real start to the small group I'm co-leading. We did the first half of the first lesson of the Truth Project, which went over the importance of an understanding truth. We actually moved the time for the study from Mondays to Thursdays, in part because I brought the wrong disc on Monday (whoops...) but also in hopes that more people will be available then. We'll see, but please do pray for students to be able to make the new time since this is a series I think a lot of them will benefit from greatly.

There are also a lot of things coming up for you to keep in prayer as well. For one, we have our regional fall conference - the Great Escape - coming up in just 2 weeks. I'm really excited for it, especially since I've gotten a bit of an inside scoop on the plans for the week. It's a great time for students to get away and get refreshed through some great Bible teaching, games, outdoor activities, worship, and all-around fellowship. We're hoping to get 80 students total from our region there, so please pray that we can make that goal.

Another activity coming up for me will be setting up a discipleship group with at least two other guys from the UNM fellowship. This is a part of my internship program, but I would also like to inspire the students a bit more to be involved in leadership and missions. I pray that I can find a couple guys to do this with, but also that I can effectively set up a program to achieve these goals and help the students to really grow in their walks.

One exciting opportunity coming up this week will be a radio interview I'm giving this Tuesday morning. It's on AM730 KDAZ, and my bit will start at about 8:10 and go for around 20 minutes. I'll be talking about InterVarsity, my work at UNM, that kind of stuff. If you happen to be around a radio then, tune in to hear me make some radio history. Or something.

Finally, I'd just like to ask for some general prayer right now. The storm of life has abated for the moment, but there are some minor turmoils that I continue dealing with. Nothing too serious at the moment, but a little extra prayer is always a good thing. Thanks so much!

and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight."
