so this is me at this point in life.

the semester has started out extremely busy. much busier than i expected actually. however... i am excited to see how this semester all works out.

i am on my way to cedarville university tonight for a soccer tournament tomorrow. so that should be quite an enjoyable time.

campus life is going really well. i am building a lot of new relationships which is exciting. however... something weighing heavily on my heart is the mere fact that I am struggling hard core with keeping CL fresh for these kids. I feel torn between sticking with what works... and wanting to do more and change it up... I guess my greatest fear here is for kids to stop coming because of boredom. i don't know. so... I am at a loss on what to do next and where to take this whole thing...

i met with Nate yesterday who is my "supervisor." He really isn't my supervisor and doesn't have any authority over me... however he does the same thing I do... he has just been here for years... so he is more like my mentor. i expressed with him my fears and assured me not to worry. these feelings are normal. he also said that that opinion is one that many other CL directors around the area share right now... everybody is struggling with where to take this whole ministry. so that was encouraging.

the biggest and best information i have to relay to the three of you that read this is regarding my summer.

I have accepted a job offer in Colorado for this summer from Noah's Ark Rafting Company! Yahoo! lol. I am super excited for this opportunity! What i will do is simply this: guide white-water rafting trips, backpacking trips, and rock climbing trips. One question.

Can it get any better than that?

If you were wondering... the answer is no. :)

Anyways.... i got to go to class... there is a quick update on my life.
blessings.
