Weekend at the Arb

So, I have some free time, and it's the weekend...why not spend some time doing something that's less important than homework, but still better than just doing nothing?

Seriously, though, I am happy that I have a little extra time this weekend. It feels like it's been forever since I've NOT had a busy weekend.

This week, however, has been busy! On top of catching up from two weeks of being away from school, I had to fill out a housing application for next year, an SLA application for next year (for those non-SAU students, that's Spiritual Life Advisor. It's a volunteer position that each dorm floor has. A very basic explanation: they pray for the people on their floor and lead Bible studies.), my camp contract stuff for the summer, and my Cross Cultural Studies paperwork for next year (which easily took more time than the other three together...). I will hopefully be spending several weeks in May and early June in Ireland and England next year with a group from school. I've heard this was the most popular trip available, however, so I might not be able to go...my second choice was Chicago, though, so I'll either be having an AMAZING time overseas, or I'll be saving nearly two thousand dollars...at least it's a good fall-back plan, right? haha.

Things are going well, other than being busy most of the time. Last night a bunch of my guy friends and I watched the first Jurassic Park...good times. Next Thursday is the last night before our Easter Break starts, and we're actually planning on having a marathon of all three of them!

God's been teaching me some good stuff about patience and trust lately. However, I have to say that I haven't been spending much time with Him lately...I could easily say that I haven't had much time, but that's a lame excuse: "Although He has all the time in the world to spend with me (literally), I'm just too busy with MY things to spend time with the God Who saved my soul from eternal damnation." Lamesauce. I've been getting involved with a couple small groups of guys who are trying to learn better spiritual disciplines, especially prayer. One group I'm with is going to start meeting every weekday morning to pray, and I'm pretty excited about it! You know what else I'm pretty excited about right now???

CAMP. I got a position as a senior counselor again, and I can't wait! I think this summer is going to be really good...but then, I'm pretty sure I say that every year...lol. It's always true, though; camp is just an amazing place.

Speaking of camp, I'm pretty sure I said at one point that I would be devoting a post to my latest summer at camp, since I did that for all the other ones up to this past summer. I think I'll get on that soon; I'd like to keep my word.

Whelp, I guess that's about it for now. Ima go spend some time with Jesus, and then attempt to be productive again. Blog ya later!
