Sorry, I don't eat

For the past week, the students and I have been passing out candy and flyers, inviting the campus to our Bible Studies and prayer meetings. We have had several people that are interested, which is encouraging, but throughout the week, there have definitely been some funny things happen.

For instance.....I was passing out flyers and a female student motioned at her phone, saying that she couldn't talk because she was on the phone. As she was saying that, her phone actually rang! Liar! You were just trying to get away from me.

Another funny story. Yesterday, we were inviting people to our Hot Dog Bash today. There were a lot people, that said "Sorry, I can't come, I don't eat meat" But one strange guy said, "Sorry, I'm just one of those guys that don't eat." Really. You have lived for 20 some years withtout eating? mmmmm. The joys of NSO.

Move In!!!

You know you were created for college ministry when Move In Day is one of the most exciting days you have had in a while. For numerous reasons, I was not able to help students move into their residence halls, but I drove by and saw students, parents and siblings!! It was sooo fun!!!! YEAH!! STUDENTS ARE HERE!!! Let the year begin!

I am so excited to begin a new year with new students--- can you tell???

Chalking

The Albion InterVarsity students took some time on Thursday to chalk the campus welcoming first year students to campus. We want InterVarsity to be the first name that students and their parents see when they arrive.






Elizabeth: "InterVarsity Christian Fellowship Welcomes YOU"






"InterVarsity Christian Fellowship wants to welcome you to Albion."

"IVCF is Glad that YOU are HERE!" Keep posted for more New Student Outreach Events!

NSO has officially begun!

New Student Outreach (NSO) is officially here! I met with some students last night and we were making postcards to give to incoming freshmen when they get here. More to come.....Keep praying for NSO!

This should be a blog with much more substance, because I have been processing through a lot lately. I spent lots of time journaling, and processing through emotions and through things that the Lord is teaching me---but you will have to wait for that blog for a while.....For now, just a fun update.

I got my haircut yesterday. It is a really cute new do for me, and it looks sooo much cuter when I wear my hair straight, so buh bye curls (at least for now). And the funny thing is.....I have never really done my hair before---some mousse or gel, and thats it.....but with this hair cut I have to do a lot of work to it.

My sister-in-law to be had her bridal shower today. Fun Fun Fun, I lOVE Presents!

I spent two days at Brown City Camp, in good ole, Brown City, MI. I listened to one of my favorite people in the world.....Adrian Despres (www.kbm.org or www.adriandespres.com) I was greatly challenged by the speakers, and some of those things will be things that I will continue to process. It was a great time to try to talk to students about their opportunities to get involved in Christian Fellowships, specifically InterVarsity while they are away at school.

On a funding note, I am currently at 60%. I need to be at 70% to be on campus. I am excited as school is getting closeer, but then my flesh takes over, and I think that I will never be provided for. BUT God is faithful, and I believe that He will get me to where I need to be.

Please pray:
-Students are moving in next week
-For the soil to be softened, and for students hearts to be searching after the Lord
-For Jon and I to find a church to be a part of
-Continued fund development process :)
