Somehow, with all my life has been involved with in the past months, I have not had time to realize that I have not written anything. Even the blogs I have typed this year have put a strain on my time. It isn't difficult to have inspiration for writing during difficult times, it is just difficult to find time to sit down and express those thoughts when every day life as a pre-med student pulls me in other directions. But summer has arrived. It has been here for over six weeks in my case - it's over half over already.
For a few moments I will give praise to the school that has held my life a captive for the past school year. I couldn't ask for a better place. Weimar College (now formally Weimar Institute) is not a perfect place; I am not a perfect person. Together, my time was far from perfect, but the experience I received at Weimar has sharpened my passion for Christ and my desire to live a life of ministry. The opportunities have been incredible. I will always look back at this year as an incredible time of growth. I learned so much about myself - my dreams, hopes, fears, strengths, weaknesses, and aspirations - because of the classes, teachers, friends, and attitude of Weimar. I heartily encourage you to check out this school. It's only getting better.
The doors for ministry are so varied. I enjoyed church ministry to local SDA churches in need of young people interaction. I enjoyed door-to-door work, and work on campus as in-reach. I became involved with SEAL Team7 at Weimar as well.
Directly following the conclusion of this school year, a group of seven students from Weimar flew to East Lansing, Michigan where we began a beta beta summer program seeking to combine health work with the Bible and canvassing works. Due to time restraints on my summer schedule, I was only with the team for the first month. But this was one of the most rewarding months of my life. We stayed at the CAMPUS/GYC headquarters and have worked in connection with Pastor David Shin's church and CAMPUS. I cannot begin to describe how amazing it is to spend an hour in prayer, time together training and discussing SOP methods and today's applications, and then hitting the field for trial and error work. Divine appointments, health coaching appointments, books, Bible studies - we are experiencing them all while learning what works and does not work for this never-been-tried-before work for reaching the cities. I think I need to write a blog about this... :)
God has opened doors for me. I've experienced all sorts of life-changing and life-directing opportunities. I know that God has a plan and a purpose for my life. The more I think about it, the more exciting this journey becomes!
