Fall Getaway

I have to brag a little bit, but I personally believe that I have the best Bible study group ever. Not only does our B-Stud group call ourselves the Wolfpack, but we also had T-shirts made for us all to wear at Fall Getaway! We also are caring and love each other, hold each other accountable, encourage each other, understand where we stand in Christ and help each other with all the things we struggle with. We are a force to reckoned with. When I say my Bible study I also mean Sarah, Elizabeth, Hannah, Jordan, and Audrey. Not that the rest are useless but rather we are the movers and shakers of our b-stud. We are team leaders in Cru, we are  those that are leading others within our group, we are those that have a firm foundation in Christ and are actively bringing others to Christ. While I do think that the rest of our group are being great active Christians, I believe that the bonds I share with these five are the bonds that will go down in history. I can't brag enough on how awesome we are.
But back to fall getaway, I had an incredible time, but it was different from last year to this year. As a freshman not knowing many people it seemed like a bigger ordeal. I really did enjoy serving as a member of the greeter team and helping with registration but it did steal a little bit of the magic. I made so many friends, both freshman and those from Berea. I also have determined that I have a Cru crush. Even though it is an awkward situation, it will be ok. I have also learned that I still need to work on patience even with those that are believers. While even Sarah agrees that I have had exponential growth in this area, I still could use a lot of work. I've realized that God has placed so many people in my life to work on my patience in so many various ways. And I've decided that God will give me a husband that requires much patience... because the Lord is preparing me! But finally, I have also decided that I want to be in some form of ministry for the rest of my life. I have also determined that I must go back to Ireland. I have to see Dromoland and all its inhabitants and see how they're growing and the great work that is happening there! I have to have spiritual conversations with Yvonne and tell her God loves her and she needs to commit to something. I need to see Dave Foley and give him a hug and praise the Lord with him because he is now a born again believer. I have to go back. Some way. Some how. It will happen. I don't know how. But it will happen.

Liep,

P.S. - oh yeah, and I really wanna go to Encounter this year and meet my husband this winter.
