Ooh sixth week. Of my last winter quarter sigh. How times just passes us by. Well on to happier things- thanks for all the birthday wishes! I'm really touched guys (esp now after 22x it must be getting old to some people.) I called my mom and thanked her- she did the work and every year I get the glory. =T Speaking of birthdays...(haha this will be an awkward transition) but this Friday at FNS (college group for church) we were challenged to see the importance of creation in the Gospel. It's not often that when you're sharing the Gospel you go into a detail account of Genesis 1 unless you're giving the long version of the Gospel. But now it's almost like how can you not include creation? Genesis 1 establishes God as the powerful, sovereign, authoritative Creator. All He did was SPEAK and this entire world came into existence. I can't even make a decent dinner. My college pastor also pointed out that right after God made man in His image He COMMANDED them to do His will Genesis 1:28. He straight up just establishes His authority over man as it should be. So when we move onto sin and salvation through Christ- how can someone fully comprehend the depravity of sin and this CRAZY gift of salvation if they do not understand the Creator and His relationship to us? Hmmm. The final point made was something that grabbed my attention- the ultimate end of creation is the worship of God- not about man or even salvation but of seeing God glorified in His works. Ehh I'm not so eloquent but I hope it makes some sense. So life here is hectic: 4 classes, seeker study (please be praying for them), church, FNS, AACF, D-ship and figuring out my future. sigh. I'm avoiding protein metabolism as we speak. But in general, God willing, I think I'm gonna stay down in SD for the next year. I'm very fortunate to actually have a choice in this (thanks to the generosity of my parents). I will miss all you people at home. =) Mission Bowl results: lost the first game then won three straight games, went to finals and lost to Kairos. It was bittersweet- Kairos played hard and deserved it though. I give my team major props (although they don't read my xanga) since they played so well. I think I was in for a grand total of 15min out of all 5 games. Yea for third string safety!!! Picture of my lovely aptmates at Easter Way. (Minus the shorty Alison Kambara. Her white church did not have a football team.) JenShih played such crazy D-line she was almost paralyzed for a week and Angie scored THREE touchdowns. WOW.
