the first week was weird but things are feeling back to normal again now.
with this being my first mission trip, i wasn't expecting that time of adjustment afterwards.
after seven straight days of focused intentionality, it just felt odd to return to normal life.
every day began with personal devotion time. we met as a group and had a short discussion about the day ahead with some scripture and prayer. we spent our days serving and prayer was constantly laced through our activity. in the evenings, we gathered together with worship music followed by a lesson about living life on mission.
and then i came home.
on top of that, i spent every waking moment for seven days with the same 16 people (and particularly the three other people in my room). this was not nearly as hard as i expected it was going to be.
and then i came home.
and i kind of missed them.
and i still do.
this trip was amazing. everything i expected and so much more. i've been a little overwhelmed about how i want to document it. i chicken scratched some notes and such right away...things i want to make sure i don't forget...because my memory is just down right horrible.
The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any of us should perish, but that all should reach repentance.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Prayer Prompt:
A few of the students are headed off to college this week...pray that they have a smooth transition, that they lean in to God if they get lonely or overwhelmed, and that they be a light on their campus.
