Time is flying by. I can't believe I've only got 18 days left here. It's bittersweet for sure. I'm ready to get back to North Carolina, but I'm going to miss everyone and the bonds that we've made from living together and sharing life together over ten weeks. But there's still much work to do. This Sunday will be our last Sunday at church here in California. The church I've served (Twin Lakes Church...TLC haha) is a really really really really good church, and I'm going to miss it. It's also our last week of MNL (Monday Night Live) where we have a weekly speaker come and tell us the Word. Some things that I will definitely bring back to campus with me are the reflection times, journaling, and reading I've picked up since I've been here. I've really been encouraged by just spending time with the Lord (in more than just quiet time). Also, we've done outreach regularly at least once a week, and I really want to continue doing outreach at school too. This summer has changed my life, and I want to take all these new habits back to NC State with me (along with my new addictions to daily coffee, the Avett Brothers, and Boyce Avenue) to impact the campus for Christ. And I'm not just saying that I want to occasionally bring up a spiritual conversation with a student here or there. I want to regularly get into spiritual conversations with the students of NC State and share the Gospel with those who don't know, and encourage Christians who aren't living the Spirit filled life to get going. I've really seen how much the Lord has done for us all this summer, and there's nothing that I'd rather do then further His kingdom.
