Weekend Wrapup...

It was an amazing weekend here on the Northcoast. So much to say, with very little time to write it down! I've got tons of stuff screamin' through my head that I want to blog about, but just can't seem to find the time to sit down and sort them out. Please pray for me that I can slow down long enough to download.

Our weekend was amazing! Lots of activities with our H2O students seemed to dominate our time! Denise has been sick, so I would ask prayer for her! Met a very gifted student on Thursday night...sure hope that God has plans for him to be a part of H2O. Natural talent...gifted beyond description...Christ-Follower...yep, he's got my attention!

Had an extraordinary time of personal worship & reflection last night. I've been watching God do some pretty amazing work in the lives of many of our students, and last night I just spent some time recounting those moments...awestruck! Our students are growing deeper in their faith walk, and sometimes I don't think they even realize it! They're becoming stronger...bolder...even sometimes aggressive in their faith! So encouraged by their witness!

Praying for an amazing week! You have one too!

Laborers For The Harvest...

Pew study report: "Nearly 1 in 4 People is Muslim" May we be moved to the very marrow of our bones! Read the report here!

Servant Evangelism Projects...

This past Friday night, we had a blast helping out our friends at East Fremont Baptist Church with their Laundry Mat Ministry. Our H2O students jumped right in! The church collects cans throughout the year and cashes them in every six months. Then the church takes the money collected and uses it to pay for as many washer & dryer loads as possible on this one night project. This time, they had collected $440.00 to be used to help as many people as they could wash & dry their clothes. We had plenty of Bibles and Gospels to give away as well. It was an amazing evening! Thanks to Pastor Walker Horne for inviting us to help!

And with ANY H2O event...there HAS to be Ice Cream in there somewhere!

God At Work...

Now THIS is truly God at work! He's here and He's busy. And He's calling us to join him. I pray this moves you as much as it's moved me!

ReEnergized....

I had really wondered why lately, I have been feeling really drained. You know, how you feel when every ounce of energy has been poured out of you? For some unknown reason, that's been me. I have been getting plenty of sleep...haven't missed any meals....and you know I haven't missed much coffee, LOL! Just drained lately. I've had plenty of time to study, and to work on getting ready for this Fall at H2O...loved having the opportunity to speak throughout our area on Sundays..yet, still drained.

Today, I found out why.

When God places a calling on your life, nothing else of any shape, form or fashion can fill that void. It's a 'have to', not just a 'need to', or 'want to'...but something that burns deep within you that can never be quenched.

I have that type of calling on me. I didn't ask for it, didn't pay for it, God chose me for this purpose. Many, many times guys in the ministry have callings placed on their lives, yet spend so much time and energy trying to figure out what it is. They're never satisfied...always looking for something 'else', something 'better'.

I know. For years I was one of those guys.

But today confirmed, again, exactly what my calling is. My purpose is to share the gospel and to impact as many lives possible with the Gospel to the Next Generation...our lovable college students. Gosh I love these kids!

Exactly three months ago, we had our last large group gathering on campus. Then we dismissed for the summer. Oh sure we've kept in touch via email, Facebook, texting and even Twitter. We've even begun having Online Streaming Bible Studies and Prayer Gatherings throughout the summer, which have been amazing...but it's not the same as coming together as a group...as a family.

This is Freshman Weekend on our campus. We've got nearly 200 students scattered throughout TU, getting a taste of dorm life and such. We've been blessed to be right in the thick of it all day. And I can tell you quickly, we've loved it. And missed it. This is what has been missing from my daily routine. Not having the daily encounters with my students has depleted me beyond words. And today proved that. I can feel myself literally being re-energized. My focus is clearer. My passion has returned. And that gnawing sensation within has been satisfied.

For now...

Freshmen move in, in 33 days...but whose counting!
